Roy Aubrey Kelvin Heath (13 August 1926 – 14 May 2008) was a Guyanese writer who settled in the UK, where he lived for five decades, working as a schoolteacher as well as writing. His 1978 novel ''The Murderer'' won the ''Guardian'' Fiction Prize. He went on to become more noted for his "Georgetown Trilogy" of novels, consisting of ''From the Heat of the Day'' (1979), ''One Generation'' (1980), and ''Genetha'' (1981), which were also published in an omnibus volume as ''The Armstrong Trilogy'', 1994. Heath said that his writing was "intended to be a dramatic chronicle of twentieth-century Guyana". Provided by Wikipedia
