Another perceptive novel about a boy on the edge of adult responsibilities. It is the story of Shell, a Trinidadian boy who moves to a new village and there meets two girls. Introduction by Gareth Griffiths.

Fifteen-year-old Shell is charmed by the attractive Indian girl Rosalie, and flattered by the friendship of her father, who tacitly accepts him as a future son-in-law. The relationships develop, but Shell does not realise that he is entering a trap which might ensnare him forever. In Green Days by the River Michael Anthony conveys the confusion of a teenager growing to maturity, and the difficult choices that have to be made. The novel explores the complexity of human relationships, and the need to come to terms with our discoveries about those around us.

Michael Anthony was born in Mayaro in 1932. He went to school there and later to the Junior Technical School, San Fernando. He worked as a moulder in an iron foundry at Pointe à Pierre, Trinidad, until he went to England in 1955, where he worked in factories, for the railways and as a telegraphist. Before the publication of his first novel in 1963, The Games Were Coming, he was already known as a contributor of stories to the West Indian Literary Magazine, BIM.
