Title: No Pain Like This Body: The forgotten classic masterpiece of Trinidadian literature Author: Harold Sonny Ladoo Narrator: Damian Salandy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 21 minutes Release date: August 4, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. With an introduction by Monique Roffey - this is her favourite book by a Trinidadian novelist. Set in the Eastern Caribbean at the beginning of the twentieth century, No Pain Like this Body describes the perilous existence of a poor rice-growing family during the August rainy season. Their struggles to cope with illness, a drunken and unpredictable father, and the violence of the elements end in unbearable loss. Through vivid, vertiginous prose, and with brilliant economy and originality, Ladoo creates a fearful world of violation and grief, in the face of which even the most despairing efforts to endure stand out as acts of courage.
