You step off the minivan and the humid mountain air changes the rhythm of your breath — green hills rise like soundboards around a small cluster of houses, and distant reggae carries through the trees. In Nine Miles, the life of Bob Marley is threaded into the landscape: the childhood home, the rock pillow where he rested and wrote, and the low, domed mausoleum that marks his final resting place.
