Nostalgia with a twist

I loved almost every story and appreciate how the collection captures the kaleidoscope of the Trini experience. it was a treat.to listen to stories from fave authors. The voice actors were at times disturbingly bad. I understand you might not be able to get a trini voice actor but oh gosh man at least give them some phonetic direction. I would have happily read some stories for free to save others from the slaughter of our beautiful patios.patios. Sincerely., a Trini!

This was also trinidad exposed

I am trinidadian and while bahni and Ron ore two of my fav narrator's ... the mis pronounciations/ dialect made it hard to listen to some but so may great scandalous, heart breaking, joyful and sexy stories in here. Overall I felt proud of the authors. worth a listen but if you know the trini accent be prepared for that disappointment but don't let it keep you from the experience.

Producers Let This Get Through?

The voice performance by Bahni Turpin killed my ears. The janky accent was horrible and an insult to Trinis. I skipped all stories she did which is a shame because I’m sure they’re compelling.

Every other story was excellent and I throughly enjoyed.

Thoroughly enjoyed it🥰

Glad I finally got around to this; been on my reading list for years. It kept me entertained during my travels in Italy.
