Necessary Sins A+ 1

September 3, 2021 by Elizabeth Bell Leave a Comment

Psst: This isn’t actually Hispaniola, the island where the opening chapters of Necessary Sins take place, back when it was a French colony called Saint-Domingue and not yet the nation of Haiti. This photograph is of Guadeloupe, an archipelago of Caribbean islands that still belong to France today. I struggled to find a stock image that could represent the 18th-century Caribbean, when none of my scenes take place on a beach or a ship. This photograph includes modern ships and buildings, but hopefully distance and context will trick the eye into thinking we’ve time-travelled!
