Synopsis
It is 1966 and Mike Upjohn is offered a job with the Nassau Telegraph. What seems, at the outset, a wonderful posting soon turns into a complex of Bahamian culture tugging at the tail-end of colonialism. And stuck in the middle is Upjohn's new colleague, Poldi Stein. A budding author, Upjohn decides to put down his journal of the ensuing events in book form, covering Stein's descent from easy-going journalist and property owner to scandal-ridden westerner at odds with the changing balance of power. In The Expatriates, Henry Toledano weaves together a Rum Diary type cultural collision which fizzes along at quite a clip.

About the Author
Henry Toledano was born in Egypt and spent his childhood there. At 14, he was sent to public school in England, then went to university in London and New York. Subsequently, he traveled round the world for two years doing various jobs. He moved to The Bahamas in the mid-sixties and became associate editor for the local paper in Nassau. Ten years later, he relocated in San Francisco and for the last 35 years has been in the retail book business: first, as a partner in a new book store; then, for a longer period, in a used one. Now he sells out-of-print books online, is presently single and lives with two cats. He enjoys bridge, dabbling in the stock market and plays bad golf for exercise.
