Dollis Hill, London – In celebration of World Book Day on March 6, 2025, author and publicist Diane Hinds shines a spotlight on the Caribbean with her compelling novel, Conquerabia: The Struggle for Identity. Released in August 2024, the book offers a rich and deeply moving fictionalized account of Trinidad’s complex history...
…a story too often overshadowed by larger Caribbean islands.
Conquerabia takes readers on a powerful journey through significant historical milestones, beginning with Christopher Columbus’s arrival in 1498 and ending with Trinidad’s transition from Spanish to British rule. Through meticulously researched storytelling, the novel explores themes of colonialism, slavery, and cultural transformation, painting a vivid picture of the island’s struggles and triumphs.
Hinds skillfully brings to life key historical figures, such as the controversial Governor Thomas Picton, while highlighting the resilience of Trinidad’s people in their ongoing pursuit of identity and self-determination. For readers interested in Caribbean history, postcolonial literature, and the interplay between fact and fiction, Conquerabia is an essential addition to their reading list.
Born in London and raised in Trinidad, Diane Hinds brings a deeply personal connection to her writing. Her early life on the island gave her a unique lens through which to view its culture and history. Hinds is also a renowned entertainment publicist and an inspiring speaker, sharing insights from her journey of success while managing Sickle Cell Disease.
Her lived experience adds authenticity and emotional depth to her debut novel. Conquerabia marks an exciting new chapter in her creative career—one that merges her love of history, identity, and storytelling.
