_____________________________ A 2023 highlight for: Financial Times * Guardian * Evening
Standard * Daily Mail * BBC News The music was still 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. _____________________________
