reflective
medium-paced
4.0
- me did tink bout dat a long time. how a meaning can travel a difference of words like de same tune sound different on flute and psaltery - joseph
Mi love mi language. Patwa jus mek it betta.
Pamela Mordecai is a master when it comes to breathing life into a story weh ol' ol'.
Dis book is proof. An' if you doh believe me, go ask de book of Mary. I fell deep into the cadences, proverbs, sly chat, and rude talk. Reminiscent of how stories are shared and embellished in homes among family and friends, but with heart and humour.
Mordecai uses her considerable talent and intuition in creating a whole backstory for the man who raised the Son of God. I adore a writer who uses research and cultural knowledge to give us a tale that peels back a curtain to offer a glimpse at how this man's life unfolded.
