Readers love them because the fictional landscape she's created with this
colourful extended family
of Jamaican immigrants is not simply realistic,
it's downright compelling.
In other words, we care about them and what
they're experiencing.
Jamaicans love seeing themselves realistically
portrayed in works of art
and Deanne's characters don't ever sound a wrong note
even though they're operating in a strange world - England. Still, they're
funny, they're loud, they're
chaotic, they're maddening; they're us.They're so
authentically Jamaican, and that's their appeal. Every time I read another of their stories I wonder how
much of them is invented and how much is
real.
Every Jamaican has family members like Cousin My, Uncle Ferdie, Auntie Bliss, Uncle Al, and the others. We love them; the characters are positive, a
breath of fresh air at a time when the image of both Jamaica and Jamaicans is
taking a battering around the world. We wish Deanne every success with
chronicling their stories and showing the world that Jamaican families are by
and large continued success like any other anywhere in the
world.
