Rum Punch And Prejudice

Written By Raglan Riviere: Rum Punch and Prejudice has a profound message for everyone genuinely interested in the improvement of relations between the races: 'The final responsibility for overcoming racial bigotry lies not with government or society but with each one of us, as individuals'.

The message is wrapped in a beautiful, gentle, romantic story in the equally beautiful and romantic island of Dominica, often referred to as the Nature Island of the Caribbean. The author takes you on a journey to Exotica which you will not only enjoy but also wish to visit.

Book Description
A story of a white man's racial prejudice and its disappearance under the influence of a black housekeeper, and his teenage daughter's first romance.

Synopsis
Bruce Knowles, born of English parents in the Caribbean, has spent most of his life in England, always with a festering distrust, amounting to hatred of black people. He is forced to return to Dominica, which he left after discovering his widowed father in bed with a black servant.
