The narrative begins with Moshe's birth in the late 1950s, four years before Jamaica's independence from colonial rule, and ends in the era of what Forbes calls "the fall of empire," the era of Brexit and Donald Trump. The historical trajectory layers but never overwhelms the scintillating love story as the pair fight to establish their own view of loving, against the moral force of the colonial "plantation" and its legacies that continue to affect their lives and the lives of those around them."--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Prejudices $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Jamaica $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 15 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207021835.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055100.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728010924.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200805012050.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20200801010400.0 952 $l OEPC877 $d 20200702124852.0 $m F For 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529021341.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200414013053.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20191214033759.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20191205010348.0 952 $l YGPC162 $d 20191114011043.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20191113011407.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20191113010339.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20191102013843.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191008011424.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11392462E99111E9BEAFC83F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
