🇰🇳Saint Kitts and Nevis

Born on Saint Kitts, Caryl Phillips also writes about England and the wider African diaspora: an author’s country does not determine a book’s setting. The Final Passage moves from the Caribbean into migration, while A Distant Shore explores an encounter in an English village. Vanier’s memoir returns to a childhood on Saint Kitts. Ottley-Mitchell’s Adventure at Brimstone Hill offers a separate route for younger readers through the island’s fortress.
