3.5

Really good collection of individual stories. I think some of them had been published as standalones and weren't meant to have a definitive conclusion? That's why some plot threads felt unresolved, like the bit about leatherback turtles, that was really interesting but it was never mentioned again after the first few chapters. Some chapters are written in the Trinidadian dialect, just like how the characters speak, which evoked a strong sense of place.
