Adamine Bustamante is born in Jamaica, inside one of the island¿s last leper colonies. When she goes to a Revivalist Church, she discovers her gift of `warning¿. But no one has bothered to warn Adamine that when she migrates to England her prophecies of hurricanes and earthquakes will no longer be respected. People will think she is crazy and lock her away in a mental hospital. Now, an old woman, Adamine wants to tell her own story but she must compete with `Mr Writer Man¿ the novelist who is twisting her words for his own book, and Adamine doesn¿t know why. In a story about magic and migration, about stories and story-telling, we discover it is never one person who owns a story, or who has the right to tell it.

Review:
'Miller's narrative and emotional range is exceptional.' - Scotland on Sunday on THE SAME EARTH. 'THE SAME EARTH, a humorous, bittersweet fiction, combines the fantastic realism of Marquez with the domestic comedy of Andrea Levy...Miller is a name to watch.' - Independent on THE SAME EARTH. 'He is being marketed as a cross between Andrea Levy and Alexander McCall Smith, but he is probably a better writer than either.' - Daily Mail on THE SAME EARTH.
Book Description:
A young Jamaican woman with a gift of prophecy embarks on a journey that will take her from a leper colony, to revivalist meetings, then to England. Magical, lyrical and spellbinding.
