can't help but feel this is a conspiracy to destroy Little Jamaica.
It's been a long eviction process that uses delays and dysfunction to drive current residential and commercial tenants out of the neighbourhood so that larger Real Estate developers can take the land

River Mumma was sooo good. We need the movie! @Literati167 🧜🏾♀️🌊 🇯🇲

"Her deft character development and thoughtful threading of Jamaican history into the plot make for a novel that resonates on many levels and should certainly succeed with readers." Thank you so much for such a wonderful review!!!!

How I wish River Mumma was on the short list for the #novel @ShieldsPrize! It's original, beguiling, enchanting: Jamaican folklore brought to Toronto as “the vision within her vision: the rivers…that once belonged to River Mumma had dried up” @Literati167 goodreads.com/review/show/64…

We’re deeply saddened to hear that Maryse Conde has died. The Grande Dame of Caribbean literature, she was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize twice, in 2015 and 2023, and leaves behind an extraordinary body of work. We send our heartfelt condolences to her family.
