Quotes
“Another Sun evokes an atmospheric Guadeloupe layered by witchcraft, vestiges of French colonialism, and domestic terrorist movements, yet grounded by the heart. An intriguing novel with a unique main character in Judge Anne Marie Laveaud.” Cara Black, New York Times bestselling author
“Another
Sun is a distinct, involving, and entertaining addition to the top rank of
crime fiction.” International Noir Fiction
“Another
Sun is a complex, atmospheric novel, made all the more fascinating by
Williams’ painstaking attention to sensory, sociopolitical, and historical
detail, and by the author’s obvious passion for the written word.” Mystery Scene
“Williams
delivers a saga of dying French colonialism in 1980 Guadeloupe—a story as
convoluted as the racial strains afflicting the island’s diverse, contentious
population…Laveaud, despite a strong sense of justice, is buffeted endlessly by
the strong winds of change that engulf one mere murder, in this drawn-out tapestry
of colonial misrule.” Publishers Weekly
“Cassandra
Campbell’s narration masterfully plumbs layers of local culture in
Williams’s story of injustice on the French island of Guadeloupe…Campbell’s ability to voice the story’s social hierarchy
and undercurrents of hostility and fear makes for an irresistible
performance. She also handles the variety of island accents well.
Williams’s depiction of a tangled judicial system and colonial power
struggles is delivered with clarity and beguiling atmosphere.” AudioFile
“Fans of Williams’ other books and readers who enjoy their crime fiction set in exotic locations will welcome Anne Marie with open arms.”
Library Journal
“In
Another Sun, Timothy Williams takes
us on a tour of an island we think we know something about, but goes deep into
the true Guadeloupe as only someone intimately familiar with the place can
truly go. Anne Marie Laveaud is a woman of sharp smarts and tenacity, and the
storyline offers fresh surprises throughout.” Sarah Weinman, editor of Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives
