Under The Flamboyant Tree
Moving between Paris, London and Trinidad, Under the Flamboyant Tree is a tale of love, loss, mystery, violence and adventure.
Camille Brossard is a free-spirited woman of mixed heritage stuck in a loveless marriage. When she decides to leave her home in Paris in search of her Trinidadian roots, she finds herself caught up in a web of dangerous intrigue.
Camille takes refuge with her great-aunt, a powerful obeah practitioner, while her ex-lover Fingal flies out to Trinidad to find her. In his quest to find his one true love, Fingal crosses paths with local gangsters, corrupt police and a cast of colourful characters.
Will he find her? And what will their future hold?
