4.5

A fictionalised account of the life of real-life Trinidadian gangster, Boysie Singh, as told from the point of view of four women in his life. For me, this book had me completely engaged from the off. Authentically told throughout in the local dialect, it builds wonderfully on a sense of place, with the voice of each woman feeling unique, seeing a different side to the infamous gangster. Fascinating historical fiction that has ensured Ingrid Persaud a place on my must-read list!
