Described as a 'beautifully crafted tale' by The Irish Times, Black Sugar is a magical realist fable about greed and corruption in Venezuela by prize-winning author Miguel Bonnefoy.
One of the beautiful surprises of this autumn L'Express
On the edge of the Latin American rainforest, the Oteros family farm sugar cane in their remote corner of the earth.
Cut off entirely from the modern world, life is peaceful, uneventful. Until, that is, a succession of ships arrive in search of Henry Morgans legendary lost treasure, said to be buried deep beneath the forest floor.
Soon, the isolated villagers are exposed to all the trappings of modernity, while the travellers search for booty unearths more than anybody could have anticipated
