Book review: John Crow’s Devil

TEN years before winning the Man Booker Prize, Marlon James published his debut novel in Jamaica, now available for the first time in Ireland .

It tells the story of two priests, Pastor Bligh and Apostle York, at war over the soul of the congregation of the small town of Gibbeah.

Blurring the line between good and evil, right and wrong, between God and the Devil, it questions how we choose to believe and who we choose to follow.
