What happens in The Brown Curtains when a group of Guyanese professionals migrate to St. Lucia to take advantage of better pay, presents a lesson in racial, cultural and religious tolerance that has important implications for the CSME and Caribbean integration. As one of the few West Indian novels to explore intra Caribbean migration and cultural differences among CARICOM countries, The Brown Curtains is indeed a path making work of art. At its core, the novel embroils readers in a steaming love story involving Raj, an Indo-Guyanese emigrant to St. Lucia, and Felicity, a St. Lucian black beauty. The only question is whether their love can withstand the racial and religious bigotry of Raj's parents.
