John is missing his family and enduring his friends. Nayce, married with children, still holds a candle for ex-lover Janey. Janey may or may not be sleeping with rapacious alpha male, Pongrass. Pongrass is battling his own mortality and treats everyone with contempt. Blackman does what Pongrass does. And all of them are exasperated with Jeremy, whose eagerness-to-please is matched only by his ability to annoy. Jeremy alone seems to be enjoying himself, but has one or two secrets of his own. Set during a week-long trip to Jamaica, this intelligent and absorbing novel examines the gruesome fallout from friendships that have passed their prime. Forensic and darkly comic, JAMAICA is a powerful yet subtle story from one of Australia's finest novelists.
