Ajeemah and His Son (1992; see separate entry, Vol. 9) is about slavery in Jamaica in the 1800s. Like "Fanso and Granny-Flo." it features powerful and dignified language, a keen sense of descriptive detail, and very realistic evocations of ordinary Jamaican life.

In this novella, Berry displays the same sharp insight into the emotional lives of his characters that he shows in "Fanso and Granny-Flo."
