The third in a non-fiction trilogy, Carmody Road (Paria Publishing) by Robin McDonald documents a coming-of-age childhood in St. Augustine, Trinidad, told with both nostalgic humour and a keen sensibility of place. Carmody Road follows Beloved and Archie, memoirs of Robin McDonald’s parents, Thelma Seheult and Archie McDonald, building on the insights and revelations of both books. This latest installment in the series encapsulates Trinidad life in the 1940s and 50s as seen through the eyes of its author, invoking extended family trees, and reflections on what seemed to be simpler times. Carmody Road also includes poems by the author’s brother, award-winning writer Ian McDonald.
