The Marvellous Equations of the Dread: A Novel in Bass Riddim by Marcia Douglas

4.0

It was the symbolism for me, wow!

I loved the use of Half Way Tree, MUSIC, the girl reading, the numbers 7 and 12, the ring, the cotton tree, the sweeping, etc...LOVED IT.

This was a delightful read, at first I was slightly confused because I wasn’t sure where the book was headed but M.D seamlessly carried us on such a vivid journey with Bob Marley and his death and his journey to finding Zion. It was beautiful. The research done for this book was absolutely brilliant.

It’s a must re-read for me, especially with a greater respect and understanding for the history.
