Climb to the Sky collects a novella and 8 stories
via some of the most celebrated and flexible French Caribbean writers, Suzanne Dracius. Set in
the author’s local Martinique and spanning the 20th century, those narratives
reveal a robust clutch of the person set opposed to a frequently violent background. The
multi-generational novella "Her future on Climb to the Sky road" opens with the
gripping account of a runaway slave’s survival of illness and abuse aboard a slave ship
and concludes along with his descendant, a tender lady residing in a post-abolition global whose lifestyles of
abuse and torture by way of her employers still resembles that of a slave. In "Sweat, Sugar,
and Blood," a girl held captive through her husband of their domestic needs to make a choice from safe
lack of awareness and unsafe wisdom. different tales, comparable to "Chlorophyllian Creation"
and "Written in Lime Juice," show the intimacy and directness of autobiographical
essays.
Each of Dracius’s heroines achieves a transcendental experience
via her personal mind's eye and should, even if she is escaping ordinary disaster (such as the
eruption of Mount Pelée), enduring prison time lower than interrogation through the nationwide police, or
dealing with the ennui of lifestyles in a bourgeois domestic. even if the result of those historical,
usual, or existential situations are unpredictable, what unites those girls is
deliverance.
