    Island odyssey - a must read novel set in negril 1970

    ISLAND ODYSSEY is a novel set in Negril, Jamaica in the early 1970s, a pristine fishing village long before it became the tourist resort that it is today. The international counter-culture generation that were seeking a simple life in a Garden of Eden paradise, found this beautiful jewel in the Caribbean and lived out their dreams, little realizing that their innocence, ideals - and money, would influence and forever change the native people they had grown to love so much.

    For those who have come to know and love Negril, Jamaica, and are curious about the early origins when Jamaica's independence was less than a decade old, Rastafarianism was a nascent movement, the beat of reggae music was heard by a few discerning ears, and Bob Marley had not yet lit up the world with his music and message of one love, one heart - this is the novel you have been waiting for!

    For those who like to read while on vacation, this is a fun and easy read all about Negril in the early years. You won't want to put it down.
    Francis, Janet and I will be down at Blue Cave in December. When will you be stopping back?

    Regards,

    Bob

    It was originally called Island Boys but someone else had already used that title in a copyrighted book, so Francis changed the name.
