À propos de cet audio

Capturing the distinct rhythms of Jamaican life and dialect, Nicole Dennis-Benn pens a tender hymn to a world hidden among pristine beaches and the wide expanse of turquoise seas.

At an opulent resort in Montego Bay, Margot hustles to send her younger sister, Thandi, to school. Taught as a girl to trade her sexuality for survival, Margot is ruthlessly determined to shield Thandi from the same fate. When plans for a new hotel threaten their village, Margot sees not only an opportunity for her own financial independence but also perhaps a chance to admit a shocking secret: her forbidden love for another woman. As they face the impending destruction of their community, each woman - fighting to balance the burdens she shoulders with the freedom she craves - must confront long-hidden scars.

From a much-heralded new writer, Here Comes the Sun offers a dramatic glimpse into a vibrant, passionate world most outsiders see simply as paradise.

This book is not a happy-go-lucky tale. It will break your heart!

The only real drawback is the narrator's horrible fake Jamaican accent. She didn't even research how to pronounce names such as "Seaga" correctly.

Great book; terrible Ja'n accent

wow, what an amazing story, read with such life and emphasis! I felt all the emotions. I will definitely look for more books by this author and more that are read by this narrator.

Great Story, Great Performance!
