A Lesser Dependency Zusammenfassung

A Lesser Dependency Peter Benson

In 1971 the inhabitants of Diego Garcia, a small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, a place too small to find on a map and one of the last paradisical outposts of the Empire, were suddenly evicted from their homes to make way for a US military base. A trenchant critique of modern civilization, A Lesser Dependency movingly describes how one familys tropical heaven became hell.

A Lesser Dependency Bewertungen

This is polemic touched with poetry. Bensons gift is to capture in strong visual terms the earth-based intuition of those 'dropped in the sand and tuned to the rhythms of tiny island life. * The Sunday Times *
A powerful political novel which makes its case all the more forcefully for being so restrained. * The Guardian *
The lack of adornment lends the novel the directness of a folk-tale and sharpens its sting. * The Independent *
