The Donkey Sanctuary

A novel which examines the trials of life in one of the far-flung remnants of the British Empire. Shows the difficulties small countries of the ‘old’ British Empire now face in this ‘modern world’ and with a largely uninterested ruling nation.

A snapshot of life in a small Caribbean island, an unwanted remnant of empire that Britain would like to but cannot ignore.

In the hope that it might pay for itself it has been encouraged to become a tax haven with all the usual (and unusual) associated activities – and a luxury holiday destination.

People who belong there adjust as best they can to the bombardment of new ways, ideas and businesses. Some try to ignore it, some are bemused, some adapt, and the sharper ones take full advantage. There are new visitors - tourists, idealists, escapers and businessmen of varying degrees of honesty.

And there is one feisty lady who only wants to care for animals but who inadvertently gets caught up in matters that she knows nothing about.
