But this comic novel  sparkling with irreverent wit is cherished in Jamaica where it is recognised for its 'humour and humanity' and as a mirror which reflects the essence of the island, where 'culture is something that comes from the ground up and good times do not require a whole heap o' money.' Guy Kennaway's novel about Jamaican life and culture is set in the fictional village of Angel Beach. It is an affectionate and hilarious description of a small community where everyone knows everyone's business, poverty is a way of life, and dreams of escape trickle through fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'If you've ever seen the universe in an ear of corn, you should read \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOne People\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e, and if you haven't, don't worry, you will.'
