Here Comes The Sun: A Novel

"Set in the fictional Jamaican town of River Bank, this novel follows three women struggling to keep their lives together in the wake of a long drought and a series of personal tragedies. Nicole Dennis-Benn’s writing is so assured, so gorgeous, that it’s hard to believe Here Comes the Sun is a debut novel. There are no wasted words; every sentence is constructed with care and a clear eye. It’s a joy to read, but you can tell that each phrase was hard-fought. Dennis-Benn’s novel is tough, beautiful and necessary. It feels like a miracle."
