How do you come to love a book?
This is a paraphrasure of a sub-plot in chapter 25 of the debut novel of
Cherie Jones, caught up by ABC TV’s Good Morning America’s Book Club – it has devoured the attention of bibliophiles on both sides of the Atlantic, I was sent the video by a friend and I immediately posted it in my
Instagram. I am pleased to give you a first hand review and I am avoiding spoilers in the main…
It was a revelation to me how Cherie was a writer, I recalled her as a quiet yet affable Corporate Lawyer for CBC during the latter half of my career there. Her book is incredible and very explicit and vivid, this is a Barbados not normally seen, which is probably part of why it was written.
Delvin told
Loop: Someone should give Offset for Christmas because it features Bajan and Caribbean folklore in a unique and dynamic way. It follows a young sticklicker (Kyle Harding) who encounters various beings like the Heart Man, Shaggy Bear and many others, with only a sugarcane as a weapon. My favorite part of the book is the action scenes. I spent a lot of time creating each set piece in the story so I am happy that the illustrators Tristan Roach (comic) and Hans Steinbach (novel) were able to bring them to life.
Offset is the perfect gift for readers 12 years old and up, due to mild language and violence.
