I used to think the past was dead and gone, that the passage of time erased memories …

​

An unexpected visitor triggers memories of the mysterious deaths that plagued an estate where Joe Chang lived as a child in Trinidad at the turn of the 20th century. The “Great House,” now a near-ruin, was eighty years earlier the centre of a prosperous French Creole cocoa estate, where Joe, the housekeeper’s son, witnessed half-understood incidents and undercurrents in the lives of its residents. His reawakened memories begin with a handsome young stranger’s arrival on the property—a catalyst that sets off a train of events in the lives of the two heiresses, with consequences that stretch into the present day.

​

Palmyra is part coming-of-age story, part Gothic mystery, conjuring a world teeming with divided loyalties, family secrets, and ambition.
