Pages : 290
Book Description
_______________ 'A pacy but absorbing saga of domestic struggle and gangland manoeuvring set against the violent backdrop of postwar Jamaican politics' - Independent on Sunday 'A blindingly good read ... both for its mesmeric story-telling and the quality of its prose' - Observer 'Young's heartfelt, sparky and affecting debut novel is a chronicle of multicultural Jamaica ... The complexity of Jamaican society in Pao is fascinating and bewildering' - Guardian _______________ SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA FIRST NOVEL AWARD _______________ A richly imagined, wholly engrossing and utterly captivating novel that tells the remarkable history of twentieth century Jamaica I was just a boy when I come to Jamaica. Kingston, 1938. Fourteen-year-old Yang Pao steps off the ship from China with his mother and brother, after his father has died fighting for the revolution. They are to live with Zhang, the 'godfather' of Chinatown, who mesmerises Pao with stories of glorious Chinese socialism on one hand, and the reality of his protection business on the other. When Pao takes over the family's affairs he becomes a powerful man. He sets his sights on marrying well, but when Gloria Campbell, a black prostitute, comes to him for help he is drawn to her beauty and strength. They begin a relationship that continues even after Pao marries Fay Wong, the 'acceptable' but headstrong daughter of a wealthy Chinese merchant. As the political violence escalates in the 1960s the lines between Pao's socialist ideals and private ambitions become blurred. Jamaica is transforming, the tides of change are rising, and the one-time boss of Chinatown finds himself cast adrift. Richly imagined and utterly captivating, Pao is a dazzling tale of race, class and colour, love and ambition, and a country at a historical crossroads. _______________ 'With grace, authenticity and humour, Young lets Jamaica's political history shine through the life story of her charming yet fallible hero. Brilliant' - Daily Mail
