Den första boken

On a single morning in Jamaica in the spring of 2002, a young couple's love affair is retraced from the hesitant first steps. Their fate is shaped less by their own wishes than by the island's cruel history and by imbalances of power that they are reluctant to acknowledge. It is a story of an impossible love and of learning to write, and of the turning points of a life, with memories that wash in and out over the years.
