"Author and narrator Asha Bromfield offers an engrossing performance of this coming-of-age audiobook. Bromfield's experience as an actress and her ease with Jamaican Patois will draw listeners into a story that has multiple levels of emotional intensity."—AudioFile on Hurricane Summer
Perfect for fans of The Black Kids, Songs of Irie is a sweeping coming-of-age novel from Asha Bromfield about a friendship struggling to survive amidst the Jamaican civil unrest of the 1970s.
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?
Asha Bromfield has written a compelling, emotional and heart-rending story of a friendship during wartime and what it means to fight for your words, your life, and the love of your life.
A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

Throughout her childhood, Safiya Sinclair’s father, a volatile reggae musician and a militant adherent to a strict sect of Rastafari, was obsessed with the ever-present threat of the corrupting evils of the Western world outside their home, and worried that womanhood would make Safiya and her sisters morally weak and impure. For him, a woman’s highest virtue was her obedience.

Actually singing in the story made listening to this book way better than me reading the physical book. This story definitely had me on edge and I was left wanting more time with some characters. Great story!!!!!

Everything about this audiobook is amazing!!
I loved it the way Asha brought the book to life. To me listening to her change the voice for every character giving them personality. I felt the emotions of each character. If they where sad i was sad. if they where happy i was happy. i really was attached to the characters. That kept me listening. Amazing performance. The story is beautiful and tragic. The story it taught me to cherish the ones you love. Family and friends. Never know when and how you will loose them. I give this book a 1,000 out of ten I will listen to it again and again. This is my favorite story. This audiobook is definitely worth a listen.

The book is so informative. I learned so much about the political climate that prompted the rise of reggae music. This was also a great examination of the intersections of color and class in Jamaica. Read! This! Book! You won’t regret it😁

Great story but perpetuates irritating troupe
I really liked the story, the characters were written very well and they all had complex narratives, which was very enjoyable, and the performance was really great, but without spoiling the story, it perpetuates an irritating and unfortunate troupe often done in stories with romance between two women. This kind of spoiled the story, once I figured out it was going to happen.
