The Emerald Soul

The Emerald Soul

Skyrocketing into 2017 with his latest literary masterpiece, the Caribbean’s premier contemporary writer K. Sean Harris, has a new novel available that fans will be drooling over like a healthy slice of cheesecake. His latest offering is ‘The Emerald Soul’. Sounds mysterious, right? Well Harris gave nothing away on the back cover so readers will have to dive in to discover all the goodies inside.

Always evolving as a storyteller, this book is a little different as there are no guns, gangs, gore or ghetto living scenarios. Instead the overall imagery painted is one of middle class mix-up and how their laundry is no cleaner than those of persons considered less fortunate.

The story line surrounds the protagonist Gypsy, a beautiful and creative writer whose career takes off as her immense talent is obvious even to her haters. But as her literary stocks soar, her personal and professional ones plummets to an all time low as her boyfriend is an equal opportunity ‘penis provider’; her best friend betrays her and her family life is marred by one tragedy after another . With all of this hurt and anguish, she pours her soul into her work resulting in immense achievements and accolades.
