This is a place to ask for other members' suggestions for a specific place.

Hi all. I need suggestions for books for French Guiana, Guyana and Suriname. In English - or English translation. And preferably available either in audio or kindle.

The classic Oroonoko by Aphra Behn is set in Suriname. It should be relatively easy to find.

For Guyana, I recently read Frangipani House by Beryl Gilroy, but that might be a lot harder to find.

This looks like an interesting book Kelly. Have not read it but it covers both countries:

Wild Coast: Travels on South America's Untamed Edge

Thanks. I have read Oroonoko. I had forgotten it was set there. I didn't really enjoy it.

I will try to locate Frangipani House. Edit: I just ordered a used dead tree version from Amazon.
