The novel scrutinizes the Tourism Industry and explores its impact on the Jamaican populace. The novel accounts the experiences and identities of four women, Margot [the protagonist], Thandi [Margot’s younger sister], Delores [Margot’s mother], and Verdene [Margot’s lover]. From the perspective of these women, Dennis-Benn examines Jamaican society and contends with social ills, such as skin bleaching, homophobia, sex work, and rape. The novel narrates the sacrifices and expenses that produce “Paradise” for tourists to consume. At the novel’s close, Margot has all she dreamed of, but is left standing alone.
