Hi, everyone!
This is booksbydorothea INAUGURAL Book of the Year! If you have been reading my blog since I restarted it in April 2023, you may have known which book would be my favorite. From the moment that I finished this book, I knew it would be my personal book of the year.
Of course, I do not want to re-review this book, the original review link is just above. But if you want to increase your worldview, this is a great start with a beautiful book journey and just a fascinating read. This memoir was written by an incredible Black woman (BIPOC) who was raised by a Rastafarian family in Jamaica. Safiya’s writing is poetic, beautiful, and consciousness-raising.
Full disclosure: I have never been to Jamaica, nor has it
been on my radar as Hawaii is closer to the West Coast. Sadly, there are many
similarities in the endemic issues in Jamaica and in Hawaii due to the former colonization
of both islands (both are now colonized by tourists).
Read this book – I cannot recommend it more!!!!
5.0/5.0 stars
HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION
My December Monthly wrap-up AND my Annual Wrap-up will be posted at the end of the year (or maybe a little earlier as I am not reading much which was to be expected during the holidays)!!
Happy reading,
Dorothea 💚
P.S. Notice the green heart (instead of my purple heart) in honor of this beautiful book!
