In this autobiography, the author, Neville Cenac casts fascinating insights into Saint Lucia's politics mainly during the period 1961 to 1992. It is written in remarkable detail from the author's perspective, who was one of the principal political actors of that time. It recounts the author's role in shaping the fortunes of the Saint Lucia Labour Party, the circumstances that led him to cross the floor to the government benches in 1987 and concludes with the author's vision for his country's future. It reports on key political events, the key players who occasioned them and their various outcomes for the country as well as the author. The author delivers his account with wit and eloquence, and at times a disarming vulnerability. The reach of this text may well go beyond a simple political treatise.
