Hurricane Summer: A Novel by Asha Bromfield
“Mom says you get two birthdays.
The first one is the day you are born.
The second is the day you leave home and give birth to yourself.”
This coming of age story was so well written and will evoke every emotion known from you. I have visited Jamaica a few times but never have experienced the Jamaica that those born there call home. The book touches on classism, colorism, religion, sexuality, and the broken-heartedness that an absent father creates.
