Conquerabia: The Struggle for Identity is an exhilarating plunge into the tumultuous and captivating history of Trinidad. From the moment Christopher Columbus set foot on its shores in 1498 to the spectacular handover from Spanish rule to Britain's Ralph Abercromby, this masterfully fictionalised account breathes life into the birth of a nation, illuminating the pivotal events that forged its path.
Step into the shoes of Trinidad's earliest settlers and feel the weight of history as you navigate through the island's most dramatic episodes.

About the author
Diane's debut novel "Conquerabia" draws inspiration from author her life on the island from 1975 to 1979. Her father, Rev. Kenneth Hinds, and her mother, Lenore Dottin, emigrated to the UK for Kenneth to train at a theological college. After his ordination at St Albans Abbey, by Archbishop Bob Runcie, the family returned to their homeland, where Kenneth served as a Clerk in Holy Orders. This vibrant four-year chapter deeply influenced Diane, fuelling her creativity.
