Title: Rum Manager, Volume 2 - Sugar Commander - Raphaël Confiant - book

Summary :

Pierre-Marie de la Vigerie succeeded his father at the Rivière-Salée distillery. Like him, he has only one god: rum. Not the nasty beverage we drink in mainland France, but the precious nectar respectfully extracted from sugar cane, the "grape," as it is called here in Martinique. On the eve of the Second World War, at the distillery, in the cane fields, in the homes of the white masters, in this France at the end of the world, time seems to have stopped. Here, people live to the rhythm of cane, sugar, and rum, without even imagining that the world might be changing... Following "Le Commandeur du sucre," Raphaël Confiant brings to light a crumbling and nostalgic world, that of the convicts of cane and rum, that of social inequalities, injustices, and racism.
