Review - Sugar Money (Grenada)
Tumblr media
YA(-ish) World Challenge book for: 🇬🇩  Grenada
Sugar Money
Author: Jane Harris
‘Cane is sugar, sugar is money. That’s all we are to them.’
This is a unique historical novel about a true event that occurred in 1765 between the French-held island of Martinique and the British-held island of Grenada. While not a YA book, it is narrated by a 13 or 14-year-old boy and could be something of a coming-of-age story alongside the adventure.
The setup is such: Lucien, the narrator, and his brother Emile, both mixed-race slaves on Martinique, are given orders by their masters, several French Catholic friars of questionable integrity called the Brothers of Charity. Their orders? To reclaim (aka steal), under cover of night, a group of slaves formerly owned by the friars, but lost when the English captured the island of Grenada from the French.
Tumblr media
The book is written in light dialect, in imitation of the “slave narrative genre” of books from the 18th- 19th- century. However, it is quite readable and keeps in mind its modern readers, although there is a generous sprinkling of French and French Creole dialogue that was sometimes confusing without good grasp of French. (Yes, I admit I was halfway through before realizing Mèsi = Merci) The afterword at the end actually had me temporary confused as to whether it was a true memoir. Conclusion: it’s fictional, based on a true incident.
The author is a white British woman but appears to have done a vast amount of research and also writes respectfully, giving humanity to her characters. (Although I am not a historian neither am I Black, so I can’t judge from those perspectives.)
The novel is somewhat slow to get to the real action, but the banter between the brothers is interesting. When we get to meet the other enslaved people on Grenada, the atrocities of the English and their bizarre barbaric tortures are disturbing to hear about.
In the end, due to the history and time, we sadly know there is never going to be a great victory for our characters - we already know from the beginning that if successful, they are only going from one master to another - and it is only due to the extreme cruelty of the English masters that any of the enslaved people would want to go back to the French.
As a novel, the book was an immersive and adventurous look into 18th-century Caribbean life, a glimpse at the desperation and hardship of slavery, and well-written, even if the constrained-by-history ending was a little unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, besides the uncomfortable parts, I enjoyed reading this book.
Tumblr media
Pros:
The young narrator is accessible and sympathetic, the brothers’ relationship is sweet, and the plight of the enslaved people is gripping
The historical situation and the friar’s crazy mission makes an interesting narrative, as the brothers are caught between obeying their masters and putting themselves in grave danger on an illegal enterprise
Cons:
Slow to get to any action, if you are looking for excitement
Could have used a glossary for the Creole words
While never graphic in either gore or sexual matters, the tortures described could be disturbing for some people
It’s hard to have a truly happy ending for POC in 18th-century West Indies

I'm all for natural remedies and traditional medicine, but I think when your "natural remedy" is based on the idea that water can become medicinal by being in the presence of a teeny itty bit amount of something, then it's probably bullshit and you're getting scammed. Go buy some ibuprofen or see a doctor.

I think Thomas and Martha 100% made baby! Bruce take little jobs around the city just to teach him the value of work.
“Just go out there and find what you’re good at, bambino,” Thomas says,
Bruce finds out that you can make a LOT by wearing a tiny business suit and asking people for money. “…And what did you do?”
Bruce counts his money with his tongue poking out like Martha thought him, “I was cute”
Alfred hums, “Certainly, it’s hard labor.”
“I’m a literal doctor, Alfie.”
“Perhaps you should try being a cute one, then.”

Hoping some some Good Samaritan can leave *this much* on our doorstep. But we have to admit, we’d be as happy if we got a case of money made out of cake 🎂💰💷. Probably more valuable with this inflation 📉

Netflix robbed us of seeing Cameron and Ruby act out the aching, mortifying scene of Lucy's reunion with Lockwood at her Studio Apartment of Depression and I'll never forgive them for it.

ive been getting more sugar daddy scammers lately trying to court me which i THINK is a good sign because that means i might be getting closer to getting an offer from a LEGIT sugar daddy, who i would use to purchase more pre-9/11 technology.

🇬🇩 Grenada
Region: Caribbean
Sugar Money
Author: Jane Harris
Tumblr media
408 pages, published 2020
Original language: English
Native author? No
Age: Teen-Adult
Blurb:
Set in 1765 on the Caribbean islands of Grenada and Martinique, Sugar Money opens as two enslaved brothers--Emile and Lucien--are sent on an impossible mission forced upon them by their masters, a band of mendicant French monks. The monks run hospitals in the islands and fund their ventures through farming cane sugar and distilling rum. Seven years earlier--after a series of scandals--they were ousted from Grenada by the French authorities, and had to leave their slaves behind. Despite the fact that Grenada is now under British rule, and effectively enemy territory, the monks devise an absurdly ambitious plan: they send Emile and Lucien to the island to convince the monks' former slaves to flee British brutality and escape with them. Award-winning author Jane Harris peoples her daring novel, based on a historical rebellion, with unforgettable characters. Recounted by Lucien, the younger brother, this story of courage, disaster, and love, is a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit under the crush of unspeakable cruelty.
