Here Comes the Sun
by Nicole Dennis-Benn
challenging
dark
emotional
reflective
sad
medium-paced
The bright cover and jaunty title did not prepare me for the contents of this book (I’m not one for reading or remembering synopses). I think this is one of the saddest books I’ve ever read, with cycles of violence and self-hatred that never end, spurred on by misogyny and homophobia, not to mention greed. A devastating exploration of the tourism industry in Jamaica, alongside female queerness.
