Laying bare the morals of a class-filled Jamaican society, where to be a browning' is the ambition of many women, and where sex and drugs are the currency of choice for whole sections of society, this novel nevertheless reveals a place where hope of true love can still remain. Set against the backdrop of Jamaica's carnival, golden brown Dave falls for ebony black Jenny, and despite the stigma, envy and anger that surrounds their tryst, Bangarang at Carnival shows that fun, sex and romance are the essence of carnival.'
