Book Description:
A visionary cast of characters weave together their past and present in a brilliantly intricate tapestry of tales.It is the story of the dispossessed and displaced, of peoples whose history is ancient and whose future is yet to come. Here we meet Lissie, a woman of many pasts; Arveyda the great guitarist and his Latin American wife who has had to flee her homeland; Suwelo, the history teacher, and his former wife Fanny who has fallen in love with spirits. Hovering tantalisingly above their stories are Miss Celie and Shug, the beloved characters from THE COLOUR PURPLE.

This book was a little hard to stick with at times, only because the writing was so different than anything I have ever experienced. After reading it though the book was such a blessing to me and changed the way I think about life. The writing was absolutely beautiful and brought tears to my eyes at times. A very beautiful book!
