It Begins with Tears (Caribbean Writers) de Opal Palmer Adisa

This one is set in rural Jamaica. I remember being deeply reached by the intertwined narratives that highlighted the best and worst of human nature. The "Caribbean Writers Series" books are always a delight to read and is an opportunity to bring a little culture into your life. My professor had a jamaican accent and I loved to hear him read passages of the text--I'd love to hear the entire story read aloud.
