Publisher's Synopsis
Growing up in British Guiana in the 1920s, Marcus Gullant was restless and ambitious and generally misunderstood by his peers. He felt unsuited to the slow pace of village life and always sought adventure and purpose. As a young man, his attentions were drawn to Teresa, one of the village elite. But her status, and that of her family, was beyond his reach. How would he be able to contest her love? His solution was to become a soldier in the British Army. Matters of the heart are rarely straightforward, and for Marcus there was no exception.
