As a woman who considers herself fairly mature, there are few things that get me excited. One of them is a new K. Sean Harris novel which usually causes me to act like a child at Christmas who simply cannot wait to unwrap her present and dive right in.
I devoured his latest offering ‘Delicacy of the Gods’ in less than 24 hours over two sittings, and it only took me that long because I was working; but never too busy to wrap myself in the literary euphoria of a good book that is sweeter and more sustaining than any steaming hot plate of food. I literally gorged my mental appetite on words that had me ricocheting between laughing and moaning out loud. Leave it to Harris to serve up another spicy tale of intrigue, suspense and sex. This one is set locally, another added ingredient for me, as I can more appreciate stories based in my own country. I understand the intricacies of the layout of the land and how it set the tone for the drama that will unfold.
In “Delicacy of the Gods’ several lives interconnect and individuals struggle to find themselves and their way in the world. We meet 22 year old Alexyia who having not recovered from the death of her father, has been thrown into an unfamiliar world of survival of the fittest. Her beauty lands her on the doorsteps of rich Irish telecom CEO Ryan O’Neil who quickly falls under her spell, though the feelings are not reciprocated. Eventually she meets Banks, the man who the Gods designed for her and the meeting of their minds as well as bodies is inevitable, much to O’Neil’s chagrin, who is determined to get payback when Alexyia moves out and on with her life and new man. Sheba the controversial young lesbian artist prides herself on her sexual prowess and goes after not one, but two female members of a prominent Jamaican family. This time however she bit off more than she could chew and paid dearly for her actions which could not be allowed to upset the established apple cart of the elite Jamaican status quo.
