Publisher Description

Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, Caryl Phillips has won numerous awards for heralded works of fiction and nonfiction. In the Falling Snow revolves around Keith, born in England to West Indian parents and raised-for the most part-by his white stepmother. Unmoored by a failing marriage, a distant son, and estrangement from his own father, Keith faces daunting change and must accept unsettling truths about himself and those around him.

"A quiet yet powerful portrait of a man's undoing during his middle years and his lost of identity as husband and father. I think Caryl Phillips, a native of St. Kitts and a resident of London, is one of the finest writers of this century. "

    " I learned about the West Indian immigrant experience in the UK and racism's effect on two generations of a family. The author had a compassionate tone and a great eye for small details that I enjoyed. "

    " I think I should have liked this book more, but I came away feeling 'meh' about it. The overall story was ok; nothing too predictable or unbelievable. The author leaves the reader guessing at the end. The writing is generally good, though I thought that four page paragraphs were a bit ridiculous. "
