By W. A. Campbell W. A. Campbell’s Marguerite is a love story set against the backdrop of the earthquake that devastated Kingston and surrounding areas of the island of Jamaica in 1907. This novella was one of the rare attempts to capture some of the delicate social and psychological tensions that existed in the island's colonial society at that time. An excerpt from Marguerite: A Story of the Earthquake: For several months George had been keeping his affection for Marguerite in check, and had been persuading himself that it was a case of “very good friends.” His sense of humour was too strong to admit of his entertaining thoughts of marriage on £100 per annum, and he knew that if he married against his father’s ideas of “equality,” his allowance of £60 was gone.
