Join us for a book tasting of Jamaica! For book tastings we choose a country, eat at a restaurant that specializes in that country's cuisine, and discuss books that pertain to that country.

You may choose to read any book that takes place in Jamaica, is about Jamaican people, or is written by a Jamaican author. We will share the books we read in a round table discussion.
