My favorite thing I've read in awhile. Gives you a real flavor for Jamaica and Jamaican history. For a poet's novel the language was refreshingly straightforward (aside from patois which I sometimes had to look up), in fact I wouldn't have minded writing that was a little more lyrical at times but the writing served the storytelling well so I can't complaint too much. Highly recommended and just the right length.
