Lauren Francis-Sharma's 'Til the Well Runs Dry opens in a seaside village in the north of Trinidad where young Marcia Garcia, a gifted and smart-mouthed 16-year-old seamstress, lives alone, raising two small boys and guarding a family secret. When she meets Farouk Karam, an ambitious young policeman, the risks and rewards in Marcia's life amplify forever.

On an island rich with laughter, Calypso, Carnival, cricket, beaches and salty air, sweet fruits and spicy stews, the novel follows Marcia and Farouk from their amusing and passionate courtship through personal and historical events that threaten Marcia's secret, entangle the couple and their children in a scandal, and endanger the future for all of them.

'Til the Well Runs Dry tells the twinned stories of a spirited woman's love for one man and her bottomless devotion to her children. For listeners who cherish the previously untold stories of women's lives, here is a story of grit and imperfection and love that has not been told before.

"Remarkably accomplished first-time novelist Francis-Sharma makes it clear on page one that Marcia is strong, courageous, and resourceful." (Booklist)

"The two narrators, Ron Butler and Bahni Turpin, are superb choices who move the listener smoothly between the two main characters." (AudioFile)

I fell in love with this book right away. It made me smile, think and laugh out loud. I even identified with some of the thoughts some of the characters had. I learned some things too. I did not know the history of Trinidad. The narrators could not be better. I have a feeling there may be a sequel.

Don't miss this one

But too overwhelming for my preference. The story and narration deserve 5 stars but it was just too sad to enjoy.

I enjoyed this book for many reasons. The strength of these women was inspiring. Learning more about their culture made me appreciate their struggle. The readers made this book even more enjoyable. Nothing ruins a great audio book like a poor reader! Well done.

I grew up in Trinidad, and have visited all of the places described in this book. This book accurately captures the culture and life during the time. There are so many ties to real events that I question how much of it is fiction. perhaps it's more of an autobiography. Either way, it is an excellent read.

quite authentic and an excellent read.

I guess I'm not used to this kind of fiction. There didn't seem to be a cohesive plot, just hour after hour of bad things happening to a family in Trinidad. I'm not even sure the changes were internal, as I did not feel the main characters evolved much.
