I'm so glad I found Kei Miller.  I'm not generally a fan of poetry, but a poetic novel?  Yes please.  This could only have been set in Jamaica.  While the overarching story is a race/class conflict, it's told through the day to day lives of the people it impacts.  I listened to the audio book, and Dona Croll was a stunning narrator.
