        			A Tall History of Sugar is captivating from the very first page. Mythic in dimension yet movingly human in its details, alive with atmospheric richness, it heralds a fascinating new voice in English-language fiction -- JENNIFER EGAN A novel of Jamaica, brimming with magic, passion and history . . . Forbes's writing combines the gale-force imagination of Margaret Atwood with the lyrical pointillism of Toni Morrison . . . This is a book for savouring * * New York Times * * Eclectic, feverish . . . Who [Moshe] is and who he becomes . . . is a riddle that unfolds in episodic bursts and linguistic flourishes * * Vanity Fair * *

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Marvelous Story
  

*by M***E on 30 November 2019*









  
  
    I loved it! So painful, but also so joyful. Deeply satisfying and unsettling at the same time.  It's the story of a relationship between two people who are really one, set in a Jamaica I know and don't know, and about Jamaicans who are both familiar and unfamiliar.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent read!
  

*by M***E on 27 December 2019*









  
  
    I'm still reading, and I'm already thoroughly impressed. Curdella is a masterful storyteller. I love the way she weaves the two languages much like the way magic and 'reality' are woven together in the story. Wholehearted endorsement over here!
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
