Grenada is a country I have yet to visit as I read around the world, and I love seeing the list of books by Grenadian authors, as well as books set in Grenada, that are in the above link. I'd like to nominate Pynter Bender by Jacob Ross as one of the choices, since the description sounds so interesting.

For Gloucester, I nominate The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes.

For Grenada, I nominate An Embarrassment of Mangoes: A Caribbean Interlude by Ann Vanderhoof. (Diane, I saw it on your to-read list for 2017 and the book title caught my attention and the summary sounds promising! :)

Grenada: Angel: A Novel by Merle Collins

Grenada: The Ladies Are Upstairs by Merle Collins.

Grenada: The Bone Readers by Jacob Ross sounds fascinating.
