Editorial Reviews
- Review Source: Amazon.com Review
This novel's narrator, Jerry, is only a boy in the early sections. His family is very unhappy, and to him inexplicable. He cannot understand the adult world. It is a world of a too absent father who often fails to return home; an addictive mother strung out on drugs and alcohol; and an emotionally disturbed brother who goes AWOL both from the Air Force and the family. Only a warm English nanny offers emotional solace and stability to the boy. In adolescence we follow Jerry to Haiti, where the world is more sensuous, yet hardly makes more sense. This is a tale of a boy without emotional moorings to keep him safe.
