This novel, set in Jamaica, illustrates the negative effects of development and tourism on local communities. It also portrays a society of poverty, desperation, homophobia and colourism. All the female are sold out or sell out in one or another and certainly do not display any solidarity to their sisters. The most honest character in the book is a young man. The patois is not overdone, but did not contribute much to the book. Nevertheless, an engrossing tale.
