White Rum and Coconut Water is a scintillating and beautifully crafted collection of prose poetry that is simultaneously hilarious and serious and will keep you turning the pages in anticipation of more. Natalie Corthésy’s bold use of carefully nuanced language, striking imagery, irony and doublespeak , will lead you to contemplate sober issues that may even evoke sardonic humour amidst authentic portrayals of familiar Jamaican characters and settings. The unifying thread includes a wide range of typical Jamaican experiences related to family, rural life, painful and contradictory realities of poverty, inner city life, sexual exploitation and loss of innocence.
