This is the first comprehensive history of Antigua to be written since the middle of the 19th century. It tells the story of the island from the earliest human settlement, through nearly 500 years of often disputed European possession, to the achievement of independence in 1981. In examining the intriguing and often haunting history of the island's inhabitants it allows the reader a genuine understanding of the pride that modern Antiguans are now able to take in the country their forefathers overcame so much to bring into being, and this book will appeal to resident and visitor alike.

Genre Fiction

A leather-bound manuscript is found hidden in a wall of a house in the rubble of Beirut in the late 1970s. It is the diary of a Muslim judge in Ottoman Beirut during 1843--a critical time for the Ottoman Empire and the European powers. The judge is Sheikh 'Abdallah bin Ahmad bin Abu Bakar al-Jabburi to the world, but simply Abu Khalid--father of Khalid--to his family and friends. In a sequence of stories and vignettes the diary tells of his work as a judge, the cases he has to deal with amid the political conspiracies and diplomatic intrigues of the times, and the impact they have on his relations with others. Merchants, officials, family, friends, and enemies are threaded in and out of a rich tapestry of events and reflections. A dragoman of the British Consulate seeks his help; Abu Kasim, his lifelong friend, asks for the hand of his unwilling daughter 'Aisha; and a young gypsy girl reads his palm. Subsequent family and political misfortunes change the judge's quiet life and shatter his dream of a pair of red slippers, in a dramatic crescendo with consequences he is unable to control.
