Praise for Sailing to Noon, the previous volume of The Caribbean Trilogy, winner of the Independent Press Award for Hispanic/Latin Fiction: 'Rich and multifarious, Sailing to Noon has enormous vitality and texture: it is a big performance-the epic myth of Canuba.' -Jonathan Galassi 'I really felt this novel: I entered its geography, saw and smelled and moved in it, which is a tribute to its vivid intimacy.' -Siri Hustvedt 'You should put this book in a tightly sealed drawer; otherwise, it's so alive it might run away.' -Edmund White 'By the time the rollicking conclusion arrives, it's evident there are many more tales to tell of this island: Canuba becomes a character in and of itself. Rogers employs satire, sex, and drama in wondrous ways.' -Kirkus Reviews

Artemisia Vento is the pseudonym of a travel journalist whose work appeared in countless magazines from 1978 onward, under different bylines. She specialized in writing about islands, above all in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, with a focus on village traditions and nature. At the end of 2016, she abandoned her career and withdrew from the world; she now lives a cloistered existence somewhere in Asia. The location of her community, and whether it is Buddhist, Christian, Vedic, interfaith, or secular, are secrets she keeps to herself.
