|Why does the Judge, powerful, wealthy and Black, bring his world crashing down by murdering his son, Baby-Boy? And why was Baby-boy wearing a dress of feathers, his face painted white? These are the mysteries the Judge's old friend, a private eye, sets out to uncover, though it is not until the very last chapter that the whole story emerges. Until then, the reader is engaged in a journey of twists and turns as complex and surprising as life itself.| |Set in Guyana, where colour and class still count for much, it is the Judge's servant, Blanche Steadman, who, though confined to her one-room shack behind the Judge's splendid mansion, is witness to the pain locked deep in the household's secrets. She becomes the warmly sympathetic guide to the novel's unfolding mysteries, along with her friend, the formidable market woman, Irene Gittings, whose role in the novel is one of its surprises.| |At the heart of the narrative is the ghostly presence of the Caul Girl who, through the survival of her diaries, becomes the prophetic conscience of both the present and the past.|--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
