But this comic novel, sparkling with irreverent wit, is cherished in Jamaica where it is recognised for its 'humour and humanity' and as a mirror which reflects the essence of the island, where 'culture is something that comes from the ground up and good times do not require a whole heap o' money.' Guy Kennaway's novel about Jamaican life and culture is set in the fictional village of Angel Beach. It is an affectionate and hilarious description of a small community where everyone knows everyone's business, poverty is a way of life, and dreams of escape trickle through fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'If you've ever seen the universe in an ear of corn, you should read \u003ci\u003eOne People\u003c\/i\u003e, and if you haven't, don't worry, you will.' - Damian Hirst\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Lyrical, poignant and downright funny...' - \u003ci\u003eThe Herald and Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e, Jamaica\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934161879276,"sku":"9781780601960","price":69.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781780601960-one-people.jpg?v=1783901158"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/guy-kennaway.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
