About this event

A Bookophilia & IPublish Consultancy event

iPublish Consultancy has partnered with a number of individuals and organizations since November 2015 to host book talks and parties with a special focus on Jamaica and the wider Caribbean.

Book talk time! Gather with author Mealnie Schwapp for conversations around Dew Angels' main themes and ideas, her creative processes and concerns, and that Dew Angels is now available in soft copy format


Dew Angels is Melanie Schwapp 's first novel. It follows the story of Nola Chambers, a Jamaican girl who lives in the fictional village of Redding. Nola suffers from the affliction of being born with black skin within a family and community that prides itself on successfully 'washing out the black.' Nola stumbles through her life until, eventually, she lands on a path of self-discovery. The book introduces many dynamic Jamaican characters and explores elements of Jamaican culture and lifestyles; the contrast between the deeply rural experiences of Redding and the bustling life in Kingston city.
