|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. It's a great story with a political hint rather than the other way around.

Our thanks to the kind people at Bloomsbury for sending us a copy of this Costa-nominated book.
Competing with ''Pao'' for this year's Costa Prize First Novel award is the equally politically orientated [[The Last Hundred Days by Patrick McGuinness]]. With so much coffee shop politics, it's like being in Paris ... You might also enjoy [[The Pink House at Appleton by Jonathan Braham]].
