Opis

SOME CAME AFTER is a compelling tour de force sequel to William Williamson's first Florida Keys novel, SOME CAME FIRST, picking up thirteen years later at a small mom and pop restaurant in Key Largo. A young man has a chance meeting with a woman who shares the same burning desire like him to change the course of their lives by hitchhiking to Key West to seek and discover what life holds for them in the southernmost city at the end of the road on U.S. 1. Corky is searching for the roots of his past. Cat is running from hers. Henry Roberts, Florida Keys native and now, local Matecumbe author, has been living an idyllic life for the past three years. He's been reunited with Finee, a Cuban woman he has loved and coveted since childhood and he has found minor success and promise with his first published novel about the struggles of a Conch family trying to keep their head above water as the islands have changed with development and commercialism. Struggling with finding the big theme for his second novel, Henry's life is disrupted when Corky and Cat show up unannounced at his door one afternoon demanding that he take them to Key West. SOME CAME AFTER is a vivid, raw and honest portrayal of the steamy underside of the Florida Keys during their road trip to Key West that alters each one of their lives.
