Description
Tar Baby is a novel about the complex relationships within a wealthy Caribbean family. Valerian and his wife Margaret live in a state of uneasy comfort, surrounded by their black servant couple. Their lives are disrupted by two newcomers: a young black woman who has been brought to them as a protege, and a violent American black man on the run.
The arrival of these outsiders poses a threat to each member of the family's identity, forcing them to confront their own sense of self and place within the world. As tensions rise, the boundaries between master and servant, owner and outsider, begin to blur.
