Gwyneth Davidson and 56 other people liked Barbara's review of Too Much Happiness: Stories: "The title of this fabulous collection of short stories is a misnomer. There isn't a smidgen of happiness, except, perhaps in the last title story. I am not necessarily a connoisseur of short stories, but those I have read would never be described as " Read more of this review »

A work of fiction of a supposed gangster. That fiction aside, it does give a overview of the lifestyle of Chinese immigrants who came to Jamaica in the 1950s and stayed. Clearly written and captivating.

A book set in a fictional version of Trinidad and written in lovely dialogue that brims with the sounds of Trinidadian speech. A story of lovers whose faults were in their stars and not in them.
