LoginThe Harder They Come
Like the acclaimed film of the same title, this lyrical, lilting, densely textured novel is based on the exploits of the legendary Jamaican folk hero and reggae star Rhygin. With passion and precision, Michael Thelwell recounts Rhygin’s journey from a morally coherent rural universe to the teeming, predatory slums of Kingston, his rebellion against the poverty and corruption of postcolonial Jamaica, his blazing, simultaneous rise to the top of the charts and the Most Wanted list.

My Favourite Books (44 books items)"This is Jamaica summed up in a book. Even if it depicts the 60s and 70s much still resembles the modern day. Better than the movie...it’s true. "
