"This is a story of unwanted but undeniable inheritance, the tale of a family whose legacy is a curse. It begins in the late 1800s on a remote island in the Indian Ocean, where a missionary has dedicated himself to stamping out fornication among the natives. His own wife is dark-skinned, but that is no shield when she is afflicted with a curse meant for her husband. When her affliction cannot be exorcised, their ten-year-old son must be sent to England.
There he will become a minister as hardhearted as his father, his missionary zeal directed against the demons he senses in the world around him. His son, however, will not have the same unforgiving strength: a poet possessed by his own demons, he will end his life wandering the halls of Bedlam."--BOOK JACKET.
