Publisher Notes

The turbulent history of the Caribbean islands is chronicled, from tribal conflicts on Dominica and the age of exploration, to the Cuban revolution and the tempestuous present, through the colorful lives of characters, fictional and real-life.

Media Reviews

"In 'Caribbean,' Mr. Michener is following the method he used so successfully in 'Tales of the South Pacific,' his magical first novel: island-hopping, inventing fictional characters who interact with colorful real-life personalities and placing historic events within a changing landscape. It's a formula he has perfected..."

First Line

The chief character in this narrative is the Caribbean Sea, one of the world's most alluring bodies of water, a rare gem among the oceans, defined by the islands that form a chain of lovely jewels to the north and east.
