‘This is Runaway Ghaut,’ he said. ‘If you drink from the water here, it is said that you are meant to come back to Montserrat in the future. I thought we should try.’
Hibiscus Summers is a moving and often funny novel about family, friendship and living life to its fullest, with a vivid Caribbean setting.
1974
In the summer before she starts art school, Aberdeen teenager Annie Fraser wins a scholarship to paint in the lush, verdant landscape of the Caribbean island of Montserrat. Determined to express herself and surrender to new experiences, her friendship with Wallace Browne – a young Londoner visiting his Montserratian family – begins to blossom into something more.
2014
Still reeling from the sudden death of her husband, retired teacher Annie Davidson returns to Montserrat, resolved to rediscover her love of art and reconnect with life. She finds the island greatly changed by a devastating volcanic eruption, but its people as vibrant and welcoming as they once were. When a face from Annie’s past reappears, she finds something else worth rediscovering.

Pat expertly captures a taste of life on Montserrat in the summer of 2014 when Annie returns to the island after first visiting 40 years before.The story weaves the experiences of an 18-year-old falling in love for the first time with a Montserratian born in the UK and that of a woman who is now widowed and returns to find life has dramatically changed but that love like lightning can strike twice.
Hibiscus Summers paints a wonderful picture of Montserrat past and reflects much of the angst and energy of the summer of 2014, when the island was ablaze with election colours. Crichton draws on much of the talk and perceptions of that season to create the frustrations which fuel Browne's entry into politics.
It compassionately takes a journey into Richmond Hill and the other areas now uninhabited to honour the memories of those lost and lives that were irreparably changed by the eruptions of Soufriere Hills.
It was an easy and enjoyable read but clearly reflects the views of a part of the community which loves the island but can't understand why some things are not further along under local rule and with British assistance.
