Summary: Seasons of Dust is a debut novel which follows the changing fortunes of four members of the Erskine family. Esme and Ray Erskine migrate from Jamaica to England in the early 1950s, escaping the destruction wrought by Hurricane Charlie. They start afresh in England, where their struggles to carve a place for themselves in a hostile, unfamiliar country yield material prosperity beyond their dreams. Their children Tessa and Steven grow up in London during rapidly changing times, times which dramatically impact their relationship with each other, with their parents and with the society within which they search for security, belonging and love. Seasons of Dust charts the progress of a family over forty years, taking us into its centre, to the heart of its conflicts, its tragedies and its joys.
