✦ Synopsis

A unique bond forms between a twelve-year-old and a Jamaican housekeeper in this moving novel that is "a work of art" (Los Angeles Times).

The basis for the beloved film starring Whoopi Goldberg, this prize-winning novel by the author of Nightswimmer and Cloudland charts the profound, rare friendship between a wise woman named Clara and David, a twelve-year-old boy adrift in the wake of a family tragedy and his parents' broken marriage. As the two grow closer, she brings him into her special world of patois and Jamaican beauty parlors and shadowy alliances, and he comes to realize that in her native country Clara has left behind a mystery, which he grows determined to unveil.

Heralded as a classic, Clara's Heart is at once moving and comical, a tribute to unconventional love, by "a writer in total command of his narrative" (Ian McEwan).
