From Publishers Weekly
The award-winning British novelist (The Lost Father) and feminist critic (Monuments and Maidens) produces a tour de force with this lavishly imaginative and sophisticated work.
Invading and colonizing The Tempest , she restores Sycorax, Shakespeare's "blue-eyed hag," to power on an indigo-producing Caribbean island at the time of its 17th-century "discovery" by the British.
While Prospero remains unidentified, Caliban and Ariel are her foster children; Miranda is born three centuries later in WW II London, a descendant of the island's British conqueror.
But invasion--literary, political, sexual--constitutes only one of many themes. An epigraph, from Derek Walcott's Omeros, begins, "Men take their colors as the trees do from their native soil";
this novel's sections, named after colors (like the novel itself), take their hues from Warner's ineffably sensuous descriptions of the island, suggesting a non-chronological approach to historical narrative--the indigo-stained Sycorax's way of seeing. Into this already lush ground, Warner introduces the gripping, cannily rendered story of Miranda and her attempts to address a problematic psychological legacy and to participate in establishing a new order.
Consistently inventive, complex in its implications, this is an altogether dazzling achievement.
