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.
