Synopsis
A debut novel that recounts the twisted story of the Blackburn family. The story begins with a missionary from England who comes to an island in the Indian Ocean to 'stamp out copulation.' Instead, he ends up driving his wife crazy upon finding her in bed with a native. The son born of this union must reconcile his black blood with his family's racist beliefs and, acting out of guilt, follows in his minister father's footsteps. The other son shoulders more of the family guilt as he moves the tale into the 20th century.

Publisher's Note
In the late 19th century, an English missionary arrives on a remote island in the Indian Ocean, intent on wiping our fornication among the natives. Instead he incurs a curse that strikes first his dark-skinned wife, then his son and grandson. But is the curse supernatural--or a white man's guilty fascination with an alien new world? "A hypnotic, cryptic, haunting exploration of the power of memory."--Boston Globe.

Industry reviews
"... a dense, poetic tale of a family's emotional inheritance... The reader finishes the novel with continued admiration for Ms. Blackburn's poetic gifts."
New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (09/19/1995)

"A rare, wonderful achievement in the novel."
Leith
