This was a great debut. It isn't light reading, but I really enjoyed getting to know Beatrice and Zora. The addition of Jamaican folklore and traditions was beautifully integrated into this story. The topics aren't light (domestic violence, racism, homophobia, illnesses, child abuse, infidelity, parent-child relationships) but it's beautifully done and compelling.
