But while the politics of Jamaica resound throughout the book, it's also a very personal story about the life of the eponymous Yang Pao. Set in Jamaica, the time period covers 1938 to almost present day, it is the political backdrop of independence and control over Jamaica's assets that informs much of the story. In her Costa Prize short-listed first novel, Kerry Young brings together a huge number of elements that make up a good story. It's a great story with a political hint rather than the other way around.
Summary: Infused with the political background of Jamaican independence, spanning nearly 60 years, this book uses the time-honoured appeal of being narrated by a bad man with a conscience.
