Frying Plantain

Solid little collection of stories that take you from Kara's childhood to her early adulthood. I liked the way Kara evolved and how nuanced everything was. By the end I was really loathe to part way with her.

The characters often use Patois (though it's easy enough to understand what they say), if you're the kind of reader who gets upset about that stuff this one might not be for you.
