The Chip-Chip Gatherers




Naipaul's moving and Whitbread Award-winning family saga set in Trinidad

At the centre of a crowded, ramshackle community in Trinidad stands Egbert Ramsaran, the proud owner of the Ramsaran Transport Company. Shiva Naipaul's enthralling and colourful second novel tells the story of the lives of the people within this community: Egbert's son, Wilbert; Vishnu, the grocer; Julian, hoping to become a doctor; and above all, the beautiful Sushila.
