I left Jamaica when I was 14 and also felt I learned so much about Rastafarians after reading How to Say Babylon. I had a more privileged upbringing and it opened my eyes to what the majority of Jamaicans experience.
I can’t wait to read “How To say Babylon”. I love Jamaican food, and was introduced to your native culture and country through Jamaican friends and neighbours. Your country is so beautiful too, being originally from Norway, your beaches, nature, hills are something completely different than I’m used to. I am glad to hear this book seems to do a deep dive, l was hoping I would learn (a lot) from it. 💜
Love your videos! Have you read “First day of Spring”? Sounds like a similar premise to “Ordinary Human Failings”. Would love to know your thought on the two in comparison.
Very interesting list. HTSB was one of my favorite reads from last year. I was pulling for it to win the Women’s Prize. I also loved Ordinary Human Failings-so good.
Leaving this treat of a video for tonight! Thank you for posting. You have very similar reading “taste” as me, so if you recommend something it goes on my never ending TBR list. 😀
@@LiteraryLife Lol No, don’t be sorry. Not at all! It’s a positive thing, l have so many books to look forward to! 💜🙌🏻 Your videos are always entertaining and informative! 💜
Thank you for your thoughtful remarks on two of my favorite books - Tom Lake and Rules of Civility. Isn't it wonderful to spend time getting lost in stories crafted by two gifted and wonderful authors?
You have read some great books! I loved Ordinary Human Failings so much that I ordered her first book, Acts of Desperation. I have heard great things about How to Say Babylon and it’s been sitting on my bookcase. Definitely going to read it as soon as I finish the stack I’m working on now 😂 I just finished Knife and found it so compelling. I too loved his writing and his thoughts & points of view are intriguing. I agree with you and would love to have a conversation with him.
