Jamaican author Beverley East gives a riveting account of the 1957 tragedy that happened in Jamaica.
The Kendal train crash is Jamaica's Holocaust, and put the island firmly on the world map, setting macabre records and traumatizing an entire nation. The attempt to write this story was not to fill the gaps but to demonstrate through all the heart break that the characters in this book can triumph over tragedy - just as a nation did 50 plus years ago.
