A non-linear collection of short stories (marketed as a novel) centered around a Jamaican family, These Ghosts Are Family is a difficult, yet rewarding, read. Like all collections, the stories featured here vary in strength, but I found several quite effective, especially with Karl O'Brian Williams's talented audio narration. I went into this read expecting it to feel like novel, so I struggled until I figured out that the pieces were going to fit together only quite loosely. Bearing that in mind, I was more able to embrace the storytelling.
