The Strange Tale of Mary Smith
$15.18
Dreams come easily to Mary Smith a Herefordshire schoolgirl, but they centre exclusively around the relationship of Rebecca, an enslaved black girl, and Jude the plantation owner's son. The dreams are not what they seem, and certain characters in them remind Mary of people, in the here and now. An elderly neighbour somehow seems to know of the dreams, and an African word used to keep predators at bay still has a powerful influence more than 150 years later. The story alternates between Mary and Laurie, her father, who muddles his way through life, trying to appease his family and his clients following a promotion at work. Meanwhile the law that binds people together unfolds imperceptibly, and ultimately has its day.
