Sugar Money

Bag om Sugar Money

"Set in 1765 on the Caribbean islands of Grenada and Martinique, Sugar Money opens as two enslaved brothers--Emile and Lucien--are sent on an impossible mission forced upon them by their masters, a band of mendicant French monks. The monks run hospitals on the islands and fund their ventures through farming sugar cane and distilling rum. Seven years earlier--after a series of scandals--they were ousted from Grenada by French authorities and had to leave their slaves behind. Despite the fact that Grenada is now under British enemy rule, the monks devise an absurdly ambitious plan: they send Emile and Lucien to the island to convince the monks' former slaves to flee British brutality and escape with them"--
