Really well written spooky book full of Jamaican history as well as family history. I had a lot of trouble figuring out who was who and how they were related. Wishing I had read this in book form so I could easily flip back and forth to the family tree at the beginning. I loved how this really focused on the women characters and how they influenced the family, even though the premise is that a man fakes his death. Reading about plantation life is not for the faint of heart. I also was very confused as to what was going on in the last chapter. I would much rather had seen a wrap up of Abel's life. Or even Vera's.
