Reader Reviews

Petamber Persaud  Guyana Times International  August 31 2018 Excerpt…… In her eighth book, Carmen Barclay Subryan has pushed the boundaries of her writing to another level after safely writing about what she knows and successfully canvassing through the genre of historical fiction mainly. The book is divided into two contrasting parts consisting of chapters one to six where she remembers and looks forward to enjoying some of those good old days and chapters seven…

Stepping on Cracks Reflections on my Homeland

In this series of short stories, the author has captured a great deal of historical information about the Upper Demerara River area, including influences on the lives of the inhabitants living there mainly during the 1960’s. This book is not only a cogent reminder of my roots but also of my youthful days in Linden.

Finding My Roots

Dr. Subryan’s stories span her years from adolescence to adulthood, and in that sense FINDING MY ROOTS AND OTHER STORIES is an “epic” work. It is of note that her quest begins with a story having the same name as her book. All of the stories that follow are significant secondary roots that help to firmly anchor her to Mackenzie, the Guyana place of her birth. Dr. Subryan’s quest is not a lonely one–readers…

FINDING MY ROOTS AND OTHER STORIES is an “epic” work

It is a surest sign of maturity when a people begins to represent themselves and their environment decidedly from their own points of view. Dr. Carmen Subryan’s books center on Linden, up the Demerara River in Guyana, South America, beginning long before it ever recognized itself as Linden, or even as a single community. Her work constitutes a distinctive addition to the Guyanese and Caribbean repertoire of ourselves. The ten short stories in this…

Collage of Life

This collection of short stories is brilliantly composed. It traps the essence of the history, culture, and aspects of the socioeconomic dynamics of the city of Linden/Mackenzie, one of the foremost of our mining towns in Guyana, South America. If stories can be considered cultural biopsies, then Dr. Subryan has produced a laboratory in which important and deliberate probing, processing, as well as culturing will go on without end.

Brilliantly Composed

A great read. Janice Beaman  

Stepping on Cracks

Stepping on Cracks is quite a complex work that does not follow the regular mold for a novel, but Doreen in the center holds together all of what appear to be digressions to form one compelling read.  Much of what compels the reader is not the major conflicts she has with her sister or lesser ones she has with other characters here and there but with her inner self, as she remembers what the…

Stepping on Cracks Reflections of my homeland

STEPPING ON CRACKS provides historical, political, and social information about Guyana and includes vivid details of how the political unrest of the 1960’s played out in Linden as well as its impact on race relations in Guyana to this day.  Dr. Subryan balances the more serious aspects of the book with humorous details depicting a wide range of Guyana’s cultural idiosyncrasies and folklore and paints a realistic word picture of the vibrancy of life…

Stepping on Cracks Reflections on my homeland.

These books are a heart warming historical discovery of my homeland.

Awesome and Accurate
