    Immediately immersing the reader in the sweaty, smokey, rhythmic Jamaican dancehall scene of late 1970s London, the author weaves together love, loss, empowerment, culture, and lightness in sharing Yamaye's story. Even though most of the dialogue was written in Jamaican Patois, it was easy to access Yamaye's world and I became hooked. First book in a while that I've read cover to cover in a week.
