Morrison writes about desire and destruction with the weight of myth. Set on a Caribbean island, this explores what happens when different kinds of blackness collide—privilege against survival, assimilation against authenticity. The characters circle each other like forces of nature. This finds the reader ready to grapple with beauty and brutality intertwined, who understands that love and violence often wear the same face. Morrison's prose carries the heat and danger of the tropical setting, gorgeous and unforgiving.
