The Marvellous Equations of the Dread: A Novel in Bass Riddim by Marcia Douglas

3.0

I really started strong on this. I loved the patois, the Bob Marley duppy thing, the unique formatting, and the Rasta POV often from women (something I've almost NEVER experienced). I still really like this book for that, but for some reason, I stalled about halfway through and never could renew my enthusiasm. Perhaps life has been too crazy this month. It really was charming...I feel like this is one I could return to in the future.

Many thanks to New Directions and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book.
