More like 3.5. Its an easy read about a second generation Jamacian immigrant to England. It naturally touches on racism and culture clashes but rather indirectly and with a deft touch. The second part examines her reconnection with her heritage in the Carribean. I liked the story and characters but would not call it particularly thought provoking. <br/> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/945136?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
