No Pain Like This Body

I have read the book several times and it is my favourite novel written by a Trinidadian novelist hands down. It deserves to be known

Monique Roffey, Independent

It is a book whose enduring gift is that someone had the courage to write it, without illusions, beneath a black sky

David Chariandry

Rereading this book has given me the gift of seeing it not only as an ode to violence, as it has come to be characterized, but also as a compassionate work by its end. I am indeed in love with this book.

Luminous and harrowing

Times Literary Supplement

A masterpiece of hurt

New York Times

To anyone who knows Caribbean literature, his novel is infamous, and Ladoo is seen as one of the region's great literary stars
