โฆ Synopsis
Karen Lords debut novel is an intricately woven tale of adventure, magic, and the power of the human spirit. Paamas husband is a fool and a glutton. Bad enough that he followed her to her parents home in the village of Makendhanow hes disgraced himself by murdering livestock and stealing corn. When Paama leaves him for good, she attracts the attention of the undying onesthe djombi who present her with a gift: the Chaos Stick, which allows her to manipulate the subtle forces of the world. Unfortunately, a wrathful djombi with indigo skin believes this power should be his and his alone.
Bursting with humor and rich in fantastic detail, Redemption in Indigo is a clever, contemporary fairy tale that introduces readers to a dynamic new voice in Caribbean literature. Lords world of spider tricksters and indigo immortals is inspired in part by a Senegalese folk talebut Paamas adventures are fresh, surprising, and utterly original.
This is one of those literary works of which it can be said that not a word should be changed.Booklist, starred review
