If I survive you / Jonathan Escoffery. - London : 4th Estate, 2022. - 260 stron ; 20 cm.
n the 1970s, Topper and Sanya flee to Miami as political violence consumes their native Kingston. But America, as the couple and their two children learn, is far from the promised land.
Excluded from society as Black immigrants, the family pushes on through Hurricane Andrew and later the 2008 recession, living in a house so cursed that the pet fish launches itself out of its own tank rather than stay.
Masterfully constructed with heart and humor, the linked stories in Jonathan Escoffery's "If I Survive You" center on Trelawny as he struggles to carve out a place for himself amid financial disaster, racism, and flat-out bad luck.
Meanwhile, his brother, Delano, attempts a disastrous cash grab to get his kids back, and his cousin, Cukie, looks for a father who doesn't want to be found.
As each character searches for a foothold, they never forget the profound danger of climbing without a safety net.
