Facing North – Tales from Bathsheba is a collection of short stories recently published by new Barbadian author,
Edison T. Williams. The ten intriguing stories span almost a century of Barbadian life from the 1930s to 2015 and beyond. The stories are told with humour and the insight of someone who understands the nuances of this small Caribbean society; they offer ob
servations of the many colourful sides of the human experience
.
Facing North also deals with the way in which villagers’ lives can from time to time be impacted by its transient residents. But the Bathsheba in these stories is more than a small picturesque seaside village; it is a microcosm of Barbados.
