No chance for them to set off upon adventures and see the outside world. But sisters Jenny and Hortense Rodney, descendants of the fierce Maroon people, do get to see the outside world, and Island Songs is their story. Growing up in rural Claremont, working amid the hustle and bustle, lawn parties and houses of joy in Trenchtown, the two sisters take a chance and move to England with their husbands, that far-off land of riches, where they settle down to motherhood among the jazz cafés and bleak streets of Brixton. A haunting, beautifully written evocation of twentieth-century Jamaica, its history and traditions, Island Songs is an epic of love, laughter and sorely tested family loyalties. Many stories are told, but many more secrets are never revealed."Alex Wheatle writes from a place of honesty and passion with the full knowledge and understanding that change can only happen through words and actions." STEVE MCQUEEN 'Grabs your heart, not with pity but wonder that such beauty can come from such a life.' THE INDEPENDENT.
