Persaud writes in an Indian Trinidadian vernacular and I struggled with the meaningof some words. She fictionalises a true story, capturing the particularities of the period and the place, while imagining the gangster and criminal, Boysie Singh, - through the voices of four women. Four women, controlled by one man. The notorious Boysie Singh. ‘some days you wake up good, good and have no clue that by the time night falls everything in your world will be upside down. Again ‘

A very long read and I felt could be made shorter with less dialogue that wouldn’t have devalued the whole story.
