Publisher's Synopsis
'When Conchi Blows' takes readers to a pivotal moment in Jamaican history through the eyes of two characters: a freeborn labourer of African descent and an indealistic Englishman. Long held as soverign British territory Jamaica is torn with violence and intrigue by 1931. The 'Christmas Rebellion,' the last major slave uprising, led by the charismatic slave preacher Sam Sharpe is gathering momentum and threatening to upend the social and economic systems of the Caribbean island. Caught in the middle of the conflict are Neddy, the freeborn son of a free mother and slave father and Watt, an English boy who is practically a bond slave on the plantation.
