Caribbean (novel)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The historical novel Caribbean (1989), written by James A. Michener, depicts the history of the Caribbean region from the time of the native Arawak tribes until about 1990. It mixes fact and fiction as Michener notes in the forward. For example, the story about the island of All Saints is purely fictional, though the book's map shows it as an island in the location of Saint Lucia.
