Book excerpt: Time lingers like trees growing sideways after the last hurricane that ravaged the Jamaican village. At night, Dan-Dan reads by the kerosene lamp on the dinner table. He rummages through the old family storybook as Grendel snarls and claws his jagged nails from the torn pages. Uneasy with the feeling that his life fits a Medieval tale, Dan-Dan furrows his brow and flips the page. The pale, smoky lamp struggles to keep at bay ghosts of his father's father who built their old house. Outside, the relentless wind blusters through the hills, and he wonders if he will escape Father's generational curse. The smell of Mamma's sweet potato pudding fills the air temptingly. Dan-Dan is not allowed to touch the pudding until morning when it is cool, but he rises to snip a piece. One taste and life is sweet. It takes a stolen kiss beneath a ghost tree for Dan-Dan to escape the village, but in town no welcome awaits a backward Mocho mountain boy. Fortune will play its own tricky hand. He is caught in a forbidden romance with the daughter of the most powerful man in town.
