A Tall History of Sugar Audiobook (Free)

A Tall History of Sugar tells the storyplot of Moshe Fisher, a guy who was ‘given birth to without pores and skin,’ so that no one can tell what race he belongs to; and Arrienne Christie, his quixotic soul mate who helps it be her responsibility in life to safeguard Moshe in the social and emotional outcomes of his strange appearance.

The narrative begins with Moshe’s birth in the later 1950s, four years before Jamaica’s independence from colonial rule, and leads to the era of what Forbes calls ‘the fall of empire,’ the era of Brexit and Donald Trump. The historic trajectory layers but under no circumstances overwhelms the scintillating like story as the pair fight to determine their own look at of loving, against the moral power of the colonial ‘plantation’ and its legacies that continue to impact their lives and the lives of these around them.

Created in lyrical, luminous prose that spans the number of Jamaican Englishes, this remarkable story follows the couple’s mysterious love affair from years as a child to adulthood, in the haunted environs of rural Jamaica to the town of Kingston, and then to England-another haunted locale in Forbes’s rendition.
