Fireburn tells the horrors of a little-known, bloody period of Caribbean history. Anna Clausen weathers personal heartache and faces the worker rebellion of 1878, thirty years after emancipation. She challenges the conventions of the day and confronts hostility from the predominantly white, male landowners whilst attempting to manage her father's failing sugar plantation. The unwelcome lust of one man and forbidden love for another makes her life even more turbulent.
