Many people have asked whether the legend of Jamaica's Lover's Leap is indeed true. There are many versions of the legend; some seem real, while others can easily be passed as myth. Nevertheles, regardless of what you may believe, there's no denying that this tale is one of intrique and your interest will be heightened from the moment you begin to read Jamaican author Horane Smith's Lover's Leap: Based on the Jamaican Legend (www.horanesmith.com), the only written novel on the poignant story set in 1830's Jamaica when sugar was king and slavery was god, master and ruler. When forbidden love dared to push its head into the open either to be chastised or to challenge the status quo. The 1700 ft. cliff that overlooked the Caribbean Sea, popularly known then as Lookout, would be of significance in years to come - to this very day!
More to come.
