4.0 out of 5 stars
Mi waan go home!,
By ingr0005@tc.umn.edu (A Jamaican gyal in Minneapolis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Roads Are Down (Caribbean Writers Series) (Paperback)
Vanessa Spence paints a picture of Jamaican life that I could not help but relate to as a Jamaican. While non-Caribbean readers may find this book a little hard to grasp, it is well worth the try if you want to understand Jamaican people and Jamaican culture. The characters in this book were very real; they could be my cousins, aunts, or sister.
