Books by Lawrence Scott

"They tell you one thing but you are not free." London in 1802 is a dangerous place for black people. Elizabeth d'Aviniere, the mixed race great-niece of the Lord Chief Justice, who had spent her childhood in his home, now fears for her own children's safety and yearns for her mother, an African-born enslaved woman.

Witchbroom is a visionary history of a Caribbean Creole family and an island. Its carnival tales of crime and passion are told by the narrator Lavren, who is both male and female.
