Four women spark a revolution on a Caribbean island – the electrifying new novel from the Costa-winning author of The Mermaid of Black Conch.
Early one morning, at the close of St Colibri’s carnival, a young female steel pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree. It is a discovery that will transform the lives of everyone on this small island . . .
Fiercely alive, Passiontide is a novel of women daring to imagine a different world. It confirms Monique Roffey as one of our most spellbinding storytellers.

Reviews
Passiontide is a bold rallying cry of a novel. Vital, enraging and brilliant. I loved it Passiontide has scale, politics and power – a thrilling read, I loved it A vital novel…fiery, funny and ferociously feminist Beautiful and important... Passiontide is a resounding testament to the rebellious spirit and bravery of Caribbean women. This is an urgent and deeply necessary novel about women reclaiming their own power and future in the face of gender-based violence. Monique Roffey has written a firebrand womanist text, a battle cry, a rousing vision of change for a better, possible world. By the end of this book, I was ready to join the revolution Set on the fictional Caribbean island of St Colibri, Monique Roffey’s Passiontide is an extraordinary exploration of the magical possibilities of collective action, and pulsates with the rebel spirit of women. Activists, sex-workers and obeah women occupy the pages of this brilliantly told narrative of struggle and uprising – which is also a subtle and shape-shifting call to arms Expand reviewsTracy Bookshop is proud to partner with Libro.fm to give you a great audiobook experience.
