Down in Demerara
(Tangent Books) 2018
Felix Radstock is plucked from his humdrum job and dispatched to the forbidden rainforest of Guyana on a mysterious assignment. Only later does he discover the true purpose of his mission. Set in 1999, Down in Demerara is a funny, charming and quirky tale of self-realisation through love, friendship and fear.
