Something to Smile About

<p>Isaac Hye books a trip from Britain to Jamaica for Reggae Sumfest and decides to stay with a Jamaican family rather than at an all-inclusive hotel. His one-month stay with a family in Pleasantown is the topic of this hilarious book a story told with British deadpan humour and a surprising knowledge of culture and history.</p><p>We travel with Hye and the family on several adventurous and hair-raising journeys with stops at historic Jamaican birthplaces and moments of National Heroes Alexander Bustamante Marcus Garvey and Paul Bogle as well as a chapter that describes a memorable visit to Bob Marley's Nine Miles birthplace. Most of all he meets simple everyday Jamaicans Jamaica and more importantly its people were everything I could have possibly hoped for.</p><p>Something To Smile About is a step across the racial and cultural bridge that shows how White people should relate to and live with Black people and it is an unusual story told with endless laugh-out-loud moments. It is definitely worth reading by all Jamaicans and visitors who love and are proud of Jamaican culture.</p><p> </p><p><img></p>
