Christopher Vanier grew up on the island of St. Kitts during the 40s and 50s. This is his story from birth until the age of 19. Vanier is a wonderful writer, and I hope he writes the sequel to this. I would love to know more of his story.
Vanier was a fearless child, craved adventure, very sure of himself and always looking to do something unusual. He was an indifferent student, but he was given the best education that was available. He also described his island beautifully.
