Winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize. A mysterious child, half-human, half-frog, is born on the island of Corpus Christi in the West Indies. Its mother becomes Magdalena Divina, patron saint of the island, worshipped by Hindu and Muslim Indians, Africans, Catholics and indigenous Indians alike. The frog-child becomes the focus of a mysterious and evolving legend, and the narrator embarks upon a quest to uncover its origins. An insightful understanding of West Indian culture combined with an exceptional literary sophistication results in a powerful and intriguing tale, rich with magic and mystery.
