JAMAICA ROAD by @lisa4884smith
A captivating exploration of identity and race set in the 1980s and 1990s, JAMAICA ROAD reminds us of how far we have come and how fragile that progress still is.
Black adolescents Daphne Johnson and Cornelius (Connie) Small become our guides, their relationship and their experiences the lenses through which the reader observes the systemic prejudices that still, all too often, plague us.
A warm and empathetic novel that informs, entertains and challenges us to be better.
I will be chatting to Lisa - alongside @marxia1 and @mel_pennant - at this year’s @lincsbookfestival on Friday 2nd October at 2pm.
