Set in Jamaica, this multi-layered novel spans three decades, from the attempted assassination of Bob Marley in the 1970s through the drug wars and political chaos that followed. Blending fact with fiction, it presents a kaleidoscope of voices—from gang members to CIA agents—that captures the turbulence of Jamaican history and the consequences of power and poverty. Winner of the Man Booker Prize, the novel is notable for its raw language, intricate narrative, and vivid portrayal of violence and resilience.
