Sadly this is a 2 star book that should have been 4 stars. Lowe has been dressing as a man since his arrival in Jamaica. Hé learns a lot about this new place that is extremely different from China. As I reader you will learn about the many layers of the people and life in Jamaica as well as the adversity and hardship colonialism as left behind. I recommend it even though there are missing scenes and overwriting.
