My Love, My Love: Or the Peasant Girl by Rosa Guy

4.0

So very tragic but still beautiful and gorgeous. I really love this adaptation, and think it’s almost better than the original. I got into this book because of the musical Once On This Island. Although I believe the musical has a better representation of the gods, or at least they are in it more, the book is really good at expanding the story and making it more race representative than the musical. Both of these are really beautiful stories, ones that are pretty different from one another, but I love them both the same. Truly beautiful representation of Caribbean mythology in a tragic love story and race conflict in social classes.
