His one-month stay with a family in Pleasantown is the topic of this hilarious book, a story told with British deadpan humour and a surprising knowledge of culture and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe travel with Hye and the family on several adventurous and hair-raising journeys with stops at historic Jamaican birthplaces and moments of National Heroes Alexander Bustamante, Marcus Garvey and Paul Bogle, as well as a chapter that describes a memorable visit to Bob Marley's Nine Miles birthplace. Most of all, he meets simple, everyday Jamaicans, \"Jamaica, and more importantly its people, were everything I could have possibly hoped for.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomething To Smile About is a step across the racial and cultural bridge that shows how White people should relate to and live with Black people and it is an unusual story, told with endless laugh-out-loud moments.
