Hezekiah: Many Houses One Life
()
About this ebook
Spurned by the love of his life, Hezekiah leaves Panama in 1919 to return to his homeland in Jamaica with the hope of regaining stability and furthering his commercial ambitions.
Over time, Hezekiah becomes a national figure and a well-established businessman. Yet the trail of heartbreak continues. Hezekiah engages in several failed attempts to recover a lost family, and with many lovers over several years, who will carry on his legacy and take his estate?
Pat Lindsay Fletcher's debut historical novel, is a gripping tale of class, race, and family struggle in the colonial era of early to mid-twentieth century Jamaica. It mirrors the pattern of many Caribbean families and leaves us asking how on earth these generational cycles can be broken.
