Publisher's Synopsis
Open Book of the lion-hearted is the title of the book. The opening statement is validated many times with incident, example and often forgiving magnanimity in what is clearly a Vincentian literary keepsake, to which Vincentians of every origin, race, and position can relate to. As the opening quote suggests, the traits of perseverance, and integrity, set in an often-troubled depiction of Caribbean life, are balanced with a sense of humour and dignified clarity, spiced with specific details of life, culture, history, sociology, spanning five decades. It also offers much insight into the medical profession (right down to terminology and examples) here in the Caribbean from SVG to Cuba. I have seldom read a literary work abounding with as much relevant Caribbean (Vincentian) detail as in this book. - Colin King Journals (first published in the Searchlight Newspaper)
