Hi All
Today I have posted another installment of God of the Cocoa, Chapter One.
I hope you are enjoying it so far. I know that some of you are intrigued and want to know what is going on with the couple Rajnath and Latchmin. Please be patient. Their story is unfolding. But it is important to understand some of their background first, and some of the culture to which they belong, as well as something of the new family which Latchmin has joined.
For those who already know something of the Indian culture at that time, I hope you are enjoying reading about it. Many readers have no idea about the culture, and are quited intrigued, so I am pleased to oblige.
As I have been asked to give more detail about the culture, the wedding, the journey, etc, I will put some more info on the Topic Pages. But to see an Indian wedding, Alison B, you really need this to become a film!
Also, this is the first of three novels, so a lot will be covered in them through the story without weighing you down too heavily all in one go.

The Last Year of Childhood is now undergoing the 3rd edit. It is set in Granville, a small village south of Trinidad. The novel is about two young girls,12 and 14, who are best friends, but are opposite in personality in many ways. However, they share one thing in common - they both have arranged marriages, from which they must escape. But when they try to help each other, their problems become much worse.
About Me
- Marilyn Rodwell
- I have done lots of things that have made my life varied and very interesting. From Nursing, to running my own design and manufacturing company - hard work but great fun. Lecturing in Business and Marketing allowed me to communicate with people who I could help. A very important part of my life was being a mother and step mother, then a mother again. Now I am writing fiction set in Trinidad. The Last Year of Childhood, is the the first novel of a series, set in small village, Granville, during Colonial times. If you have enjoyed A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, you might enjoy The Last Year of Childhood. The genre is similar.
