The Naipauls of Nepaul Street (in English)
Savi Nepaul Akal
Synopsis "The Naipauls of Nepaul Street (in English)"
This is a moving story of a familys beginnings, growth and, in the context both of time and Trinidadian society, its inevitable dispersal. Savi Naipaul Akals memoir pays tribute to remarkable parents, so different but equal in importance to their large family. It is an account of family loyalty, sacrifice, and sometimes tensions. Through this focus, the memoir also gives a sharply observed picture of cultural change in Trinidad from colony to independent nation, of being Indian in a Creole society, of the role of education, and her parents encouragement of herself and her sisters to make independent lives for themselves. The memoir gives an acute analysis of the pressures that led many of the family to emigrate, but also of the good lives made by Savi and her husband that led them to put down their bucket and stay. Above all, this memoir offers the pleasure of writing which is elegant and lucid, with a distinctively personal voice.
