Songs of Irie / Asha Ashanti Bromfield. by Bromfield, Asha. Wednesday Books, 2023. Call #: FICTION BRO Subjects Friendship -- Fiction.   Interpersonal relations -- Fiction.   Reggae music -- Fiction.   Lesbian teenagers -- Fiction.   Social classes -- Fiction.   Rastafari movement -- Fiction.   LGBTQ+ people -- Fiction.   Jamaica -- History -- 1962- -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781250846808 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  384 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  It's 1976 and Jamaica is on fire. The country is on the eve of important elections and the warring political parties have made the divisions between the poor and the wealthy even wider. And Irie and Jilly come from very different backgrounds: Irie is from the heart of Kingston, where fighting in the streets is common. Jilly is from the hills, where mansions nestled within lush gardens remain safe behind gates. But the two bond through a shared love of Reggae music, spending time together at Irie's father's record store, listening to so-called rebel music that opens Jilly's mind to a sound and a way of thinking she's never heard before. As tensions build in the streets, so do tensions between the two girls. A budding romance between them complicates things further as the push and pull between their two lives becomes impossible to bear. For Irie, fighting--with her words and her voice--is her only option. Blood is shed on the streets in front of her every day. She has no choice. But Jilly can always choose to escape. Can their bond survive this impossible divide? Audience:  Ages 13-18. Wednesday Books. Genre:  Historical fiction. 2SLGBTQIA+ fiction. Love stories.
