Anotácia knihy

Set against the stark contrasts of Jamaican society and the hidden costs of migration, Escaping Babylon is a powerful novel about faith, love, and survival.

Makeda, a former student nurse from rural Portland, places her trust in Sanka, a charismatic woodcarver whose Rastafarian ideals promise liberation from "Babylon." As Makeda devotes herself to family and faith, another woman-Lilian DeSouza, a sheltered heiress from Kingston's elite-becomes drawn into Sanka's orbit, unaware of the lives already shaped by his influence.

When long-held beliefs begin to fracture, Makeda is forced to confront the limits of devotion and the meaning of freedom. Her journey takes her far from home and into unfamiliar terrain, where survival demands invisibility, endurance, and sacrifice.

Meanwhile, Lilian's carefully protected world begins to shift, challenging her understanding of privilege, rebellion, and responsibility.

Rich in cultural detail and emotional depth, Escaping Babylon explores motherhood, class, and spiritual integrity, asking what it truly costs to walk away from illusion-and what must be left behind in the search for dignity and self-determination.
