![]() Read this book using Google Play Books app on your PC, android, iOS devices. One reads with anguished suspense as each sad tale is told, exhilarated rather than depressed by the sorrowful truths Phillips humanely pursues. Higher Ground - Ebook written by Caryl Phillips. ![]() Phillips impresses also with his intimate knowledge of his subjects and of the way physical and psychological suffering turn into political truths. The psychology of each narrator determines the startlingly different prose styles of the stories. Each story captures an apocalyptic moment in the life of a protagonist being tried in his or her innermost being by history's cruelties: an unnamed African at a slave post acts as interpreter for the traders Rudi Williams, a radical young American black jailed in the '60s, writes letters from a Southern prison Irina, a Jewish refugee in England, tries not to fall back into madness. Phillips ( The Final Passage ) calls these three novellas a novel, and they are so allied in feeling, though not in style or subject matter, and so superbly written that it would be carping not to go along. ![]()

Those arriving at the scene of devastation found, in the garden, the naked corpses of Darnley and his valet.
