This was a good book, very well written and very captivating plot, although also very intense. I really enjoyed how evident throughout the book that history and context were integral to the plot. And the reality of this magic that the Rastafari community holds within them is at the center of everything, despite/in spite of the whiteness and colonization trying to snuff it out. And at the end all the jumps through time and from character to character came together and made perfect sense.
