Sinopsis
The stunning return from the Orange Prize shortlisted author of The Observations and Gillespie and I'A vivid, perfectly paced tale of slavery and freedom, innocence and experience, love and despair, Sugar Money is told in an unforgettably beautiful language. What a stunning writer Jane Harris is, mastering an extremely harrowing and complex subject and making it into art.' AMANDA CRAIGMartinique, 1765, and brothers Emile and Lucien are charged by their French master, Father Cleophas, with a mission. They must return to Grenada, the island they once called home, and smuggle back the 42 slaves claimed by English invaders at the hospital plantation in Fort Royal., While Lucien, barely in his teens, sees the trip as a great adventure, the older and worldlier Emile has no illusions about the dangers they will face. But with no choice other than to obey Cleophas - and sensing the possibility, however remote, of finding his first love Celeste - he sets out with his brother on this 'reckless venture'.With great characters, a superb narrative set up, and language that is witty and thrillingly alive, Sugar Money is a novel to treasure.

Críticas
Harris builds a lush sense of place, and the pace and tension of a rip-roaring adventure here, with derring-do and double-crossing and a looming sense of threat and dread from the start. (The Times)
Based on a true story, and told by Lucien in rich, supple prose that echoes the rhythms of Caribbean speech, Sugar Money gives a memorable voice to people whose lives have largely been ignored by history and fiction. (Sunday Times)
Jane Harris pitches you headfirst into this outstanding, heartbreaking story of siblings, slavery and the savagery of the colonial past. (Sunday Express)
Rip-roaring adventure and unspeakable tragedy... However, it's Lucien's voice that steals the show - a mix of raw vigour and high-flown poetry peppered with cleverly deployed creole. If Lucien's charm sweetens a bitter pill, this is ultimately a shaming story of wicked injustice to leave your heart heavy. (Daily Mail)
Harris's great triumph is Lucien's voice. Harris makes the brutal reality of slavery utterly plain. The risk of her earlier restraint has paid off and the brief, harrowing scenes towards the novel's climax have an extra power because of it. (Spectator)
Sugar Money is at times brutal and hard to read, but it's also a story that swells with empathy and hope. Terrific stuff. (Big Issue)
With a richness of historical detail, wry wit, and subtle characterization reminiscent of Hilary Mantel, Harris bridges the distance of centuries... and [we] are powerfully reminded that the past is, in many ways, still with us. (Huffington Post)
Tour de force. A thrilling adventure, cleverly observed and written, that's full of atmosphere and local colour (Woman & Home)
Sometimes it's descriptive, lyrical prose that envelops you immediately in another world; sometimes it's a mesmerising vernacular. Sugar Money is one of those novels where the lilt and rhythm of a dialect are transportive (if you've read Harris' debut, The Observations, you'll know what I mean)... This is as much a tale of sibling rivalry as it is an epic journey, all wrapped up in a mellifluous French creole. (The Pool)
Beautifully written with a taut story-line and shrewd characterization, Sugar Money is singularly impressive. (Book Riot)
