Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hurricane Williams
A soothing drowsy laziness like the restful weari ness of work well done filled the days, put even the more civilized men into long cane chairs with tall glasses and siphons near by. In the evening they would stir about leisurely, with cigars aglow and leis on their necks, talk of home, shipments, sugar in the valleys, coffee in the uplands-and be bumped from the path by the whirling flash of some brown-bodied boy grasping at a happily excited girl, coming out of the dark breathless in love-drunken play and vanish ing with a blur of soft footfalls into shadows.
