While I have no experience/background in reading Jamaican culture, the stories here flow very well and, especially the short ones, get emotion across in a highly enjoyable way. As dense as the reading can feel, you are still drawn in. One could easily lose themselves in the stories once you get a feel for that accent.
One of the standouts for me is the novella-length "Marguerite: A Story of the Earthquake". Its a story that weaves a plot around a historical event along with colonial society of 1907.
