Neil Gaiman is a story teller in the old tradition of story tellers.  Gaiman writes in the acknowledgement, “…. was the person who persuaded me that the story I told her over lunch that day really would make a good novel…..”  I believe him – this is a story that could be told round a campfire.

I didn’t like the use of Caribbean language, but that’s a quibble – I read this one almost straight through on a flight home from Paris.  Well worth the cost and time!
