At an opulent resort in Montego Bay, Margot hustles to send her younger sister, Thandi, to school. Taught as a girl to trade her sexuality for survival, Margot is ruthlessly determined to shield Thandi from the same fate. When plans for a new hotel threaten their village, Margot sees not only an opportunity for her own financial independence but also perhaps a chance to admit a shocking secret: her forbidden love for another woman. As they face the impending destruction of their community, each woman―fighting to balance the burdens she shoulders with the freedom she craves―must confront long-hidden scars. From a much-heralded new writer, Here Comes the Sun offers a dramatic glimpse into a vibrant, passionate world most outsiders see simply as paradise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicole Dennis-Benn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47644015820994,"sku":"9781631492945","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/4275\/5010\/files\/9781631492945.jpg?v=1778349153","url":"https:\/\/www.harlembookcompany.com\/products\/here-comes-the-sun-a-novel","provider":"Harlem Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
