Here Comes the Sun

“This debut novel from Dennis-Benn is an astute social commentary on the intricacies of race, gender, wealth inequality, colorism, and tourism.... Haunting and superbly crafted, this is a magical book from a writer of immense talent and intelligence.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Here Comes the Sun, like its main character Margot, stuns at every turn, especially when you think you have it figured out. It's about women pushed to the edge, Jamaica in all its beauty and fury and more than anything else, a story that was just waiting to be told.” –Marlon James, author of A Brief History of Seven Killings

“An indelible portrait of a woman in motion. Nicole Dennis-Benn has created in Margot a fierce and fearless striver. A fantastic debut.” –Laila Lalami, author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Moor's Account

“In Here Comes The Sun, Nicole Dennis-Benn boldly takes on the emotional and psychosocial effects of colorism and classism, among other topics. Here is a story of love and betrayal within the parameters of friendships and families in one Jamaican community. Most prominently, we follow the struggles of Margot, Delores, Thandi, and Verdene as they embark on their journey toward self-fulfillment. Nicole Dennis-Benn has written a book that is full of culture and crackling with life.” –Chinelo Okparanta, author of Under the Udala Trees
