A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes

2.0

I just wasn't impressed. Perhaps because of a typo on the back cover of my edition, which states that the work is set in Jamaica "of the 1920s," but I really don't feel that Hughes really was familiar with children, and that the adults in the story are lacking a certain amount of logical thinking. I did exprect racism - after all it was written in 1926, but found it much worse than I expected. I'd been wanting to read this for decades, now I have no idea why.
