    "description": "<p><strong>A major debut that follows a Jamaican family in Miami navigating recession, racism and Hurricane Andrew.</strong></p>\n<p><span>1979. Topper and Sanya flee to Miami as political violence consumes their native Kingston. But they soon learn that the welcome in America will be far from warm.</span></p>\n<p><span>Trelawny, their youngest son, comes of age in a society which regards him with suspicion, greeting him with the puzzled question 'What are you?'</span></p>\n<p><span>Their eldest son Delano's longing for a better future for his own children is equalled only by his recklessness in trying to secure it.</span></p>\n<p><span>As both brothers navigate the obstacles littered in their path &ndash; an unreliable father, racism, a financial crisis and Hurricane Andrew &ndash; they find themselves increasingly pitted against one another. Will their rivalry be the thing that finally tears their family apart?</span></p>\n<p><em>If I Survive You</em><span>&nbsp;pulses with inimitable style, heart and barbed humour while unravelling what it means to carve out an existence between cultures, homes and pay checks. It announces Jonathan Escoffery as a chronicler of life at its most gruesome and hopeful.</span></p>",
