Description
Huracan A Novel by Diana McCaulay explores Jamaica's complex history through the eyes of its author, tracing two generations of her family. Born in New York to Jamaican parents, Leigh returns to the island after her mother's death and discovers long-held family secrets. As she navigates her new life on the island, Leigh grapples with guilt over her ancestors' pasts - including Zachary Macaulay, a Scot who became an abolitionist, and John Macaulay, a missionary who questioned his own beliefs. This novel examines themes of homecoming, belonging, love, and redemption, shedding light on how individuals navigate the inequalities and privileges they are born into. Through its exploration of everyday contemporary life, Huracan A Novel offers a thought-provoking look at connectedness and social transformation, inviting readers to reflect on their own relationships with place, identity, and history.
