From the Back Cover
This powerful narrative, set in North Carolina in the 1960s and in contemporary New York, explores the tangle of secrets and lies that make up the stories of its three main protagonists: Tony, who has lost the thread of his own life-story and must find it again through paranoia, fear and violence down in the tunnels of the New York subway system where he now lives; Mikey, his childhood friend, whose hopes and dreams have come to live only in the eyes of his young daughter; and Agatha, whom Tony calls the Soul Snatcher, a woman with a complex history and a heart full of painful secrets.
Orange Laughter is about old prejudice and shattered innocence. Recalling the novels of Toni Morrison, it brings vividly to life the importance of storytelling, of passing on the stories of those who cannot speak for themselves.
