A moving story， rich in detail， told with great sensitivity and affection.NEW YORK NEWSDAYIt is 1964. Howard lives a hand-to-mouth existence in the small island protectorate of Barbados with his brothers， two aunts， and his grandmother. He is waiting for his parents， who left for England long ago， to send for him. And as the sparks of independence crackle all around them， Howard s life changes forever when Mr. Bradshaw， a black headmaster， is hired for his school. Howard begins to blossom under Bradshaw s guidance， and learns that neither freedom nor knowledge comes without sacrifice， and that even battles won leave victims. In this beautiful， poignant， and ultimately hopeful novel， the fate of one Bajan family rests in the hands of change--change that only liberation and learning can bring.From the Trade Paperback edition.
