A review by nuhafariha
Land of Love and Drowning by Tiphanie Yanique

3.0

I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. It just seemed like everyone was drinking rum and hooking up all the time. At the same time, the author did a wonderful job of telling some of the myths and legends of the Virgin Islands and weaving them with the actual history of the land. Kinda reminded me of Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Toni Morrison with the surreality of it.
