I enjoyed the characters, the descriptions of cooking, the deep way that non-familial friendship is explored, the description of life in Trinidad and those who leave Trinidad for New York. I listened to the audio book read by the author; I loved listening to the cadence as well as different turns of phrase whose origins are from Trinidad. The author tells the story of the 3 characters via first person chapters of each of the characters. An omniscient narrator would have been better in my opinion. I kept asking to myself, "Who are they talking to?"
