La isla de los caballeros (Tar Baby)

by Toni Morrison

Overview

En una paradisíaca isla del Caribe, Valerian y Margaret viven en una espléndida mansión y disfrutan de una existencia idílica. Sin embargo, todo cambiará con la llegada a la isla de Son, un náufrago negro de dudosas intenciones que se siente atraído por la bella Jadine, sobrina adoptiva de la pareja. Desde este momento, la isla se verá sacudida por una oscura y creciente pasión que hará tambalear todos los cimientos de la convivencia, obligando a hombres y mujeres a enfrentarse a ese yo secreto que todos solemos vestir con nuestras mejores mentiras. La isla de los caballeros es una de las más brillantes novelas de Toni Morrison.
