but when I came back.... WHEN I CAME BACK, the last 50% of this book is phenomenal, the consequences of actions, the fragility of the human experience. Hosein masterfully covers, coming of age, pverty, racism, classism all within the context of the Indo-Trinidadian experience. The high that I felt as I finished this book is wow, it's a sad depressing ending with a consequence that could have completely been avoided but isn't that life? Isn't hindsight 20/20. This book was an experience and I would have it no other way
