Unfortunately, a wrathful djombi with indigo skin believes this power should be his and his alone.īursting with humor and rich in fantastic detail, Redemption in Indigo is a clever, contemporary fairy tale that introduces readers to a dynamic new voice in Caribbean literature. When Paama leaves him for good, she attracts the attention of the undying ones-the djombi-who present her with a gift: the Chaos Stick, which allows her to manipulate the subtle forces of the world. Bad enough that he followed her to her parents’ home in the village of Makende, now he’s disgraced himself by murdering livestock and stealing corn. Karen Lord’s debut novel, which won the prestigious Frank Collymore Literary Prize in Barbados, is an intricately woven tale of adventure, magic, and the power of the human spirit.
This read was for the 2012 Theme Park book club, February theme: Black Women Writing Speculative Fiction.
