"Reaper of Souls" - A novel about the 1957 Kendal crash in Jamaica

[@chloebobb532]

Thank you for this,I was just surfing the internet and came upon this treasure. I was 3years old at the time of this incredible crash,and yes I am Jamaican and had Rheumatic fever. It amazes me that this is news to me,I quickly confirmed that it is not fake news. God's ways are not easy to understand .

I picked up a copy of your book and was overwhelmed by the terrible train crash that took place! In a way you could think of it like Titanic except this event was a train crash instead of a ship sinking. Loosing 250 lives in such a violent way! It is part of Jamaican history.

One of my uncles was on that train,he allow migrated to England.I was told by another passenger,who was an alter boy in the Catholic Church then, that the accident was cause by street boys who were on the trip.They cut the wires supplying light to the coaches in order to pick pockets but on one occation they cut a brake hose instead! The rest is history.

The Train crashed on its way back to Kingston. I was an Alter Boy at St Anne’s and lost many friends. She mentioned a Priest but not his name. I knew every Priest who was at St Anne’s at that time. The only one who left the Priesthood was Harry Mallet. Was she referring to him?

[@haroldfennell2540]

she got the story wrong.: she needs to check the story again ,and rewrite her book......l was there.
