Description

Derek Walcott's Moon-Child is a rich and vivid tale of spirituality and the supernatural. On the island of St. Lucia, a cunning Planter schemes to take over the land for development, but his plans are thwarted by the Bouton family, who strike a bargain with him in exchange for their sons' help. In this lyrical new work, Walcott weaves together Caribbean folklore and postcolonial themes to create a masterful fable. The result is a story that reaches from the island's verdant forests to its plantation homes, filled with flowing language and colorful Creole patois.
