When artist Dominique receives a letter from her dying father, a
reckoning with repressed memories and a pull for romantic and
familial love sends shockwaves through her life, as she journeys to
Paris to face the places and events of her early years. Balanced
with visits to the Venezuelan Amazon, where Dominique explores a
spiritual and loving longing (meeting a young guide, Juan), a raw
and tender unfolding of this love story is a parallel to the
uncovering of the shocking truth of Dominique’s birth, and her
parents’ relationship. Pascale Petit’s My Hummingbird Father is
a beautifully lyrical debut novel in dialogue with Pascale’s
Ondaatje and Laurel Prize-winning poetry collection, Mama
Amazonica.
