About This Book

A wealthy European émigré has recreated a homeland house on a tropical plantation and awaits his sister's son to be raised as heir; the young man's arrival exposes the estate's social order, including a stern overseer and numerous enslaved workers. Disagreements over an imported sugar machine and management choices reveal tensions between innovation and custom. The narrative moves through episodes of hunting, encounters with Maroon groups, a violent assault on the property, and moral tests that probe loyalty and Christian conviction, resolving personal and communal conflicts by the story's close.
