    SEXY, SINFUL, SENSATIONAL

    By elainebardsley  Apr 20, 2005

    Pros: Author's use of language, sharp dialogue, wonderful story

    Cons: 0, a great piece of writing

    EJBB Bardsley, Madeira Beach, FL 1/14/05 (author of Vision Quests) This novel is sexy, sinful and sensational. The relationship between Glen Webber, photographer from Lancaster, PA and Rosalind Juliet Mitchell, teenage native of Jamaica, might raise... your eyebrows but you will not be able to close your eyes as you become fascinated by their interaction. The dialogue moves the plot with alacrity and the plot is so evocative by the end of this page turner you might be making reservations to explore Jamaica! A first novel which is interesting, compelling and well done! Read more Less

    LIKE A PIECE OF PIE IN THE FRIDGE

    By suziecordes  Apr 20, 2005

    Pros: Thrilling, Fun, Sexy, Thoroughly Enjoyable

    Cons: None

    I Want a Sequel! Suzanne Cordes, Jupiter, FL 11/28/04 I finished "Jamaica Girl" during Hurricane Francis. I evacuated for three days with my two dogs, and finished the book with a flashlight. I love this book. For me the highest point, the... most dramatic, was when Rosalind drank the potion. Oh, my gosh! -- coagulated vomit, rotten blood! An absolutely fantastic book. I cannot say enough. The way the situation with Mr. Armand was handled, approaching the body guard, I just didn't expect that. I loved it, loved it. It was like a piece of pie in the fridge. I read a little bit every day. I saved it. And the fact that Glenn wouldn't pay off the police! I couldn't believe it. It would make a great movie, but even more I want a sequel. I want to know what happens to Rosalind -- all the things Glenn taught her, her in her high heels. Just fantastic. I love this book. Thanks so much for "Jamaica Girl." Read more Less

Publisher Notes: Jamaica Girl

  • Rosalind Juliet Mitchell could become one of the great heroines of modern fiction. She is a Jamaican Lolita and a Caribbean cross between Huck Finn and Liza Doolittle. Dirt poor, hungry, bright-eyed and determined, she clings to her one distant hope a Glenn Webber, an aging, uncertain American tourist. He is Humbert with a conscience, forced comically to confront one moral dilemma after another in an effort to comprehend a culture very different from his own. In this hilarious, erotic, heart-rending romp, we move from a bloody jungle killing to a Kingston beauty pageant, meeting on the way a supporting cast that includes a voodoo witch, a hip-hop dancer, an ebullient taxi driver, a sly Rasta-man, a ruthless voyeur, a stoned plant lady, a corrupt detective, a quirky pageant coach, some wild Jamaican strippers and an assortment of mountain peasants. Have you been to Jamaica, mon? Climbed the falls? Now immerse yourself in this tropical odyssey of struggle and triumph, and meet one of the most memorable heroines in modern imaginative literature.
