    A Tall History of Sugar
    'Brimming with magic, passion and history' New York Times'Captivating from the very first page' Jennifer EganShortlisted for the Fiction category in the OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean LiteratureShortlisted for the Kitschies Red Tentacle AwardDiscovered amidst a tangle of sea grape trees, Moshe Fisher's provenance is a thing of myth and mystery; his unusual appearance, with blueish, translucent skin and duo-toned hair, only serves to compound his mystique. Equally feared and ridiculed by peers as he grows up, he finds a surprising kindred soul in the striking and bold Arrienne Christie, but their complex relationship is fraught with obstacles that tear them apart as powerfully as they are drawn together.Beginning in the late 1950s, four years before Jamaica's independence from colonial rule, A Tall History of Sugar's epic love story sweeps between a rural Jamaica, scarred by the legacies of colonialism, and an England increasingly riven by race riots and class division.

    From the best-selling author of Congratulations! Now Get Over Yourself, Ralph Peterson holds nothing back in his latest management manifesto.“I have been fired, let go, demoted, punished, ridiculed, reprimanded, reassigned, embarrassed, provoked, called foolish, ineffective, and worst of all disgruntled. The whole time, I thought the problem was them.... It wasn’t. It was me. Me, wanting to feel good rather than being effective. Me, hiding behind my principles. Me, not wanting to take a stand. Me, being embarrassed. Me, being scared. Me, and my misunderstanding of what it takes to be a good manager." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ralph Peterson.
