Publisher's Note
Lula grows up in a racially mixed family in the peaceful village of Tamarind Grove, Guyana, during the 1970s, until the repressive regime of Guyana's dictator spreads its tentacles into the town as tensions among the villagers begin to fester. A first novel. Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"Lyrically written but underplotted....A fine, strong, original voice, but the story seems more like a preliminary sketch than a full-fledged novel."
Thompson

"BUXTON SPICE is an easy book to read [but] it is hard to see how Lula is growing and changing when so much is centred on her sexual experiences. What ought to be refreshing has become limiting and occasionally clichéd."
Times Literary Supplement - Lesley McDowell (12/18/1998)

"Oonya Kempadoo…has written a sexy, stirring, richly poetic semi-autobiographical first novel. Those looking for a linear, plot-driven work may be disappointed: Ms. Kempadoo offers up the slightest sliver of Lula's life--the tremulous moment at which she slips into young womanhood."
Wall Street Journal - Gabriella Sterne (05/21/1999)
