great début, quick read. i liked the flashbacks better than the present day storyline. felt at times too many characters and social issues got crammed in, but overall a very enjoyable read.
Poignant, suspenseful and so well written. An amazing journey about families, individuals and the ties that both estrange and bind us
What drew me into this book is the story of Eleanor and a look into Caribbean culture. Those parts of the book were well written. The intersection with current day Benny and Byron was in some parts successful and in many ways not. And as another reviewer stated, towards the end it seems like the author felt the need to throw every social/political issue into the mix that she could think of which detracted from the storyline. I really struggled to finish it.
