Return to Arcadia H. Nigel Thomas

A brilliant, finely accomplished, and intensely moving novel about a very modern predicament: the malformed dysfunctional identity in the global village...

When Joshua ?lair emerges from amnesia in a psychiatric hospital in Montreal, he must explore what makes him want to erase his identity; in the painful process that follows he is forced to relive his past in the fictional Caribbean island of Isabella, and learns to forgive. What emerges from his trauma and his precarious healing is the gripping story of a man's search for sanity and a place in the world.
