playing when Dalton Changoor vanished into thin air... On a hill overlooking Bell Village sits
the Changoor farm  where Dalton and Marlee Changoor live in luxury unrecognisable to those who
reside in the farm's shadow. Down below is the barrack  a ramshackle building of wood and tin 
divided into rooms occupied by whole families. Among these families are the Saroops - Hans 
Shweta  and their son  Krishna  who live hard lives of backbreaking work  grinding poverty and
devotion to faith. When Dalton Changoor goes missing and Marlee's safety is compromised 
farmhand Hans is lured by the promise of a handsome stipend to move to the farm as watchman.
But as the mystery of Dalton's disappearance unfolds their lives become hellishly entwined  and
the small community altered forever. Hungry Ghosts is a mesmerising novel about violence 
religion  family and class  rooted in the wild and pastoral landscape of 1940s colonial central
Trinidad. _____________________________
