About this listen

Adamine Bustamante is born in Jamaica, inside one of the island’s last leper colonies. When she goes to a Revivalist Church, she discovers her gift of warning. But no one has bothered to warn Adamine that when she migrates to England her prophecies of hurricanes and earthquakes will no longer be respected. People will think she is crazy and lock her away in a mental hospital. Now, an old woman, Adamine wants to tell her own story but she must compete with Mr. Writer Man, the novelist who is twisting her words for his own book, and Adamine doesn’t know why. In a story about magic and migration, about stories and story-telling, we discover it is never one person who owns a story, or who has the right to tell it.

The narrators accent and delivery for each of the characters was so entrancing, I really got lost in the world. I love the threads it chose to follow and the ones it left to flutter in the breeze. Really felt like a much needed escape for me so I’m very grateful to have come across it.

A story that made in questioned spirituality and religion. The narrators voice and accent was wonderful and drew me into the story. The story was power, sad and complex at times. I wanted more at the end. I really enjoyed.
