I loved the brilliant writing, the characters and the clever and beautiful way the story melded together. A stunning book PRIMA, BOOK OF THE MONTH

A special, beautifully written novel that s as rich and intoxicating as the Jamaican rum cake of its title GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

An extremely assured debut which pulls in threads and echoes from across the Caribbean diaspora to deliver a rich, complex and really satisfying novel ALISON FINCH, BBC Radio 4

I was instantly taken in by this multi-generational tale of identity, family, and the lifelong push and pull of home. This novel has a tremendous heart at its centre, and I felt its beat on every page. What an extraordinary debut MARY BETH KEANE, author of Ask Again, Yes
