Reviews
"A deceptive spellbinder, a metafiction so disguised as old-time storytelling that you can almost hear the crackle of home fires as it starts. But then it gets you with twists and turns, it seduces and shocks you even as it wrestles with the very nature of storytelling itself. It's the story of women haunted by women, and of the dangers of both keeping secrets and saying too much." -- Marlon James , author of Man Booker Prize-winning A Brief History of Seven Killings "Augustown is a gorgeously plotted,sharply convincing, achingly urgent novel deserving widespread attention."   --Booklist (starred review) "Miller captures the ways community, faith, and class create a variety of cultural microclimates."   --Kirkus (starred review) "Miller's writing has a cool immediacy [that] gives more than a nod to Garca Mrquez... A vivid modern fable, richly nuanced and empathetic." -- The Guardian   "The language is as clear as spring water, the characters are vividly drawn." -- The Observer   "Miller's storytelling is superb, its power coming from the seamless melding of the magical and the everyday that gives his novel a significant fabular quality." -- The Sunday Times (London)

Synopsis
11 April 1982: a smell is coming down John Golding Road right alongside the boy-child, something attached to him, like a spirit but not quite. Ma Taffy is growing worried. She knows that something is going to happen. Something terrible is going to pour out into the world. But if she can hold it off for just a little bit longer, she will. So she asks a question that surprises herself even as she asks it, "Kaia, I ever tell you bout the flying preacherman?" Set in the backlands of Jamaica, Augustown is a magical and haunting novel of one woman's struggle to rise above the brutal vicissitudes of history, race, class, collective memory, violence, and myth.

    Order tabs for a text book, and I have no complaints. The tabs look to be authentic, fast shipping in a padded USPS sleeve. Tabs came as described, and this was overall a great value for my needs. Thank you!

    Item exactly as described. Very quick shipping. Packaged well. Great value. I have another band in a different color and it's my favorite band. I was thrilled to find another band since this band is no longer sold in stores. Great seller!
