I wasn’t sure at first whether I would like this as it was slow to get into – but once I did I was glad that I read it and I really enjoyed it . It had a really interesting setting in Trinidad which was really well descripted. The book had such a modern feel that I couldn’t believe that it was written a 100 years ago lots of really authentic and relevant themes were covered which made the book a good book group choice. The central character was really well developed and I found his story fascinating as I didn't really know anything about life in the Caribbean.
