The story of the coming of age of the daughter of Barbadian immigrants living in Brooklyn druing the Depression and the Second World War. She realizes that only by accepting the dreams of both her parents can she gain independence. The author has previously written "Praisesong for the Widow".

From one of America's most distinguished black novelists, the acclaimed bestseller that won the 1991 Booklist Award for Best Adult Fiction. Ursa is a well-educated, good-hearted, hard-working young black woman living in New York--a woman seeking to come to terms with herself, her life, and her parents back home in the West Indies.

The chosen place is Bourneville, a remote, devastated part of a Caribbean island; the timeless people are its inhabitants—black, poor, inextricably linked to their past enslavement. When the advance team for an ambitious American research project arrives, the tense, ambivalent relationships that evolve, between natives and foreigners, black and whites, haves and have-nots, keenly dramatize the vicissitudes of power.
