Ma Taffy may be blind but she sees everything. So when her great-nephew Kaia comes home from school in tears, what she senses sends a deep fear running through her. While they wait for his mama to come home from work, Ma Taffy recalls the story of the flying preacherman and a great thing that did not happen. A poor suburban sprawl in the Jamaican heartland, Augustown is a place where many things that should happen don't, and plenty of things that shouldn't happen do. For the story of Kaia leads back to another momentous day in Jamaican history, the birth of the Rastafari and the desire for a better life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Novel. 546 $a French translation from the English. 505 0 $a Le preÌcheur volant -- C'est ainsi que tout commence -- L'autoclapse. 650 0 $a English literature $v Translations into French. 651 0 $a Jamaica $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a CarreÌ, Nathalie, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022319.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A33B03DACF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
