Hungry Ghosts by Kevin Jared Hosein
In mid-20th-century Trinidad, the sudden disappearance of a wealthy landowner draws a struggling barrack-yard family into the perilous orbit of his hilltop estate when his frightened wife hires a laborer to stand guard. As money, desire, and the promise of escape unsettle loyalties, the intertwined lives of cane workers, preachers, and the elite reveal a world steeped in superstition and simmering violence. Through shifting perspectives, the story exposes how poverty and power warp faith and family, building inexorably toward a harrowing reckoning for both the estate and the barracks.
