The lasting pain of grief
This is one of those books you may experience a love/hate relationship, as at times, it runs short of plot and character evolvement. It does, however, deal with a subject not often developed in a serious novel: grief. The story engages a community of disparate characters in Jamaica, although a portion of the story takes place in NYC and Paris. The central protagonist is Chris, an artist in NYC who has suffered a major loss and travels to Jamaica where his mother lives. Throughout the story, other lives and other losses impact Chris and ultimately contribute a broad scope of different types of connections and support for each other. Interesting book for sure.
