I’ll give this story a 3/5 not too good, not too bad it’s just not my genre, for me. The story of this book is about a man a journalist who spontaneously runs away with his work, traveled by himself, and goes to Guyana. And he was mesmerized by the country and not only by the country, but he was also mesmerized by the girl name Jan that she meet along with his journey and they make love and all in all. This story also, it also tackles how racist the people in Guyana are towards the Africans they always said that Africans are lazy, black, with wide noses and they don’t know how to work. It makes me sad how racist people are in these past times, also in this book, also tackles how inequality is shown in this book, how the men go down the women and treat them like a slave. They always said that women are all slaves. So to those people who really like women empowerment, racism, equality, and colonialism. Well, this one is for you, happy reading.
