Tasmaniana Bargains

Located on the northeast shoulder of South America, Suriname in a place that has remained in the shadows.
A once rich, now poor, former Dutch plantation colony, its inhabitants are a complex people descended from African slaves, Dutch Christians, Portuguese Jews, indentured Asians, and indigenous Amerindians.

This collection of stories, from Tasmanian writer and journalist, Margaretta Pos, moves between Tasmania where the author was born and Suriname, where her father’s family has lived for 200 years, telling tales of exploration, discovery, romance and death.
