Boyhood Days Part 1

$24.78 USD

If you were born and raised between the 1960's to 1980's then this book is a must read for you. Designed to engender that feeling of nostalgia, the book Boyhood Days, Part 1 is a detailed and actual account of our life and times growing up between the above mentioned period. A collection of Caribbean memoirs, it is full of laughter and excitement, even though the pieces are based and written on serious subjects and topics that occurred during our growing up time. In that regard, this book can be considered as being anecdotal and will have you in stitches and wanting more, with each passing chapter. In this book you will read about a group of young boys being chased by a machete wielding grounds care taker and about a young girl who took on the boys of their residential area and beat the heck out of them all. You can also read about how a knock out punch caused an old lady to see God and a whole lot more. In this book, you will also read about our traditions, culture, customs and other attributes of our growing up during that period. This was surely a time when everybody cared and looked out for everybody. When everyone was each other's neighbor and when people truly cared about each other. It was also a time when we played games on the streets and roads with each other and when we were sociable people. It was a time when we had no electronic gadgets, computers, tablets or smart phones and we were forced to be creative in manufacturing our own toys and other pieces, for our own enjoyment and satisfaction. And because of the fact that we were people of humble beginnings, we did whatever we had to, legally, in order to make ends meet. This was certainly a time when our island Saint Lucia was covered with rivers and trees, especially fruit trees, which assisted greatly, in augmenting our dietary needs and requirements. Believe me, those were certainly the days. The boyhood days.
