pickFinished this on my morning walk today, just in time for the #womensprize shortlist. It so deserves to be there and I can‘t decide if it‘s my favourite or a close second.
Set on Barbados in the 1980s we see the ‘real‘ side of island life as it clashes with the tourism industry. It‘s not an easy read, containing a lot of abuse and violence but it‘s one of my top books of the year so far.
And the narrator on audio has the *most* gorgeous voice!
Cinfhen I just bought the audio!! I‘m waiting to listen for #LooseyGooseyMay ♥️ 3y
BarbaraBB Okay... a favorite of yours for the prize even with this strong shortlist, that says a lot. #stacked 3y

squirrelbrain I‘m not sure it would have the same impact in print @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen @Megabooks as the narrator has a fabulous island accent. I hope you enjoy it Cindy! 3y
