Ghosts by Curdella Forbes

'What unifies this book is the beautifully lyrical writing, which slides smoothly between standard English and Jamaican creole. This is not something I had seen before, so it took me longer to read the book because I often had to figure out the meaning of the words or phrases. But this is a good thing; each sentence is so beautiful that it just asks you to read slowly, savoring every turn of phrase. I highly recommend this novel for its beautiful, unique writing – even if I still don’t quite know what it all means.'
