Norton & Company, $c 2017. 300 $a 349 pages ; $c 21 cm 520 $a "In this radiant, highly anticipated debut, a cast of unforgettable women battle for independence while a maelstrom of change threatens their Jamaican village. 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."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $z Jamaica $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters $z Jamaica $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prostitutes $z Jamaica $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Working class lesbians $z Jamaica $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305042645.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20190716014149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DDB66B80370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
