Pell-Mell

<i>Pell-Mell ... So We Live!</i> shares a collection of brief often poignant anecdotes that provide a whimsical glimpse into how people live in the Caribbean West Indies and the Virgin Islands. In <i>Pell-Mell</i> justice and nature fuse into one parenting is skittish a fugitive blue mongoose is caught red-handed and the stork learns that delivering babies is safer. Afro-Caribbean Virgin Islander Gilbert Sprauve continues where he left off in his previous collection <i>Soundings over Cultural Shoals.</i> Sprauve holds the magnifying glass that peers into a fascinating local culture and offers reflections about a world in and about the Virgin Islands where a crane dozes in pain a handy popgun saves a groom-son and serial eulogies crack frail ribs. <i>Pell-Mell ... So We Live!</i> offers a memorable look into the variations of life-from the heart mind and soul of a beautiful people-the Virgin Islanders.
