Quotes by Lloyd Fernando (?)

“It was the driest season the island had ever known. The heat which had accumulated during the long days still seemed to hover over the city, stifling its inhabitants. Usually they streamed on to the water front at night, sweating, wondering, in the gustatory atmosphere, moving in clusters or striking out alone.”
― Lloyd Fernando, Scorpion Orchid
