Three Novels of Place: A Reading

Garfield Ellis‘s The Angels’ Share is the story of a Jamaican father and his adult son who travel across the island together in a touching and humorous novel that explores family reconciliation. Kevin Keating’s The Captive Condition: A Novel is a chilling and deliciously dark tale about an idyllic Midwestern college town that turns out to be a panorama of depravity and a nexus of horror. Inspired by a reading of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, André Alexis‘ novel The Hidden Keys questions what it means to be honorable, what it means to be faithful and what it means to sin.
