What brings Charlo Pardie--an almost elderly peasant farmer--to leave his wife after a life together? Will he return? Set on a small Caribbean island, this mystery creates a vivid portrait of a rural community subject to the hostilities of nature and the tempests of their own relationships. Drawing heavily on the Anglo/French Creole cultures of the Caribbean, this work captures place and creates a fascinating group of characters struggling with the choices of adult life.
