Just finished Carlos Miller's book "Belize." I HIGHLY recommend it. Historical fiction covering the period since Hurricane Hattie (1961), through independence to the current time.

I cried at the end.
Couldn't put it down. Really Enjoyed it,

For others who want the joy,

It is a surprisingly good book when much of the fiction surrounding the country is so British Honduras or only nominally post-idependence. for those who may not recognise the names, I can also assure you that they figure in Belizean history. A local pal of mine agreed. Buy it, take it and read it in the sunshine. Oh...and i didn't write it nor do I know Carlos
