The Cay

A Glimpse Of The Novel, “The Cay”


Phillip Enright lives on a narrow, small green house in Willemstad, on the island of Curacao, the largest of the Dutch islands just off the coast of Venezuela.
 
He is 11 years old when he and his mother will go to Norfolk to escape from the dangers of war created by the Nazis, leaving his father behind.

2 days after leaving Panama, the ship he is on is bombed and when he wakes up after the accident he finds himself in a cay with a black grayish cat that is named Stew cat who is the cook’s cat also a black man named Timothy. 

Phillip is so frightened that he can hardly breath. All around him is shark-infested waters of the Caribbean. He is shipwrecked with a big old black man who had worked on the ship. How will this adventure turn out for Phillip? Innocence vs. wisdom, black vs. white, growing up and surviving, a totally amazing story that will blow your mind, “The Cay”.
