Debra Providence over at Writing D gives her take on Marlon James's The Book of Night Women:
I would probably be a very restless soul if I didn’t pen my response to Marlon James’ The Book of Night Women. Reasons for saying this are, firstly, I am really excited about new works and new writers in Caribbean/West Indian literature, and secondly, I have had a rather strong reaction to the 413 page novel. I feel I must write, also, because The Book of Night Women focuses on an area that has been part of my academic/personal interest, the representation of Afro-Caribbean women in literature.
