Description

Pynter Bender is set in the cane fields of Grenada, a small island nation struggling to break free from centuries of serfdom. Jacob Ross's debut novel tells the story of Pynter, a boy born blind who is given the gift of sight, and his journey into a world of violence and conflict. As Pynter navigates this new reality, he finds himself drawn into a civil war that threatens to upend the fragile balance of power on the island. His early life is shaped by the Bender women, a close-knit group who raise him after his father leaves him behind. But when Pynter falls in love and flees his family to escape the marauding soldiers, he must confront the harsh realities of a world that is both beautiful and brutal. This powerful novel explores the conflict between two worlds: one of men who walk away from their families and responsibilities, and another of women who hold on with fierce determination.
