A collection of seven short stories based on West Indian folklore. The stories reflect social issues: poverty, race, class, gender, migration, identity, memory and trauma. Rain Darling examines the abbreviated life of a woman who responds to the news that she is a bastard child.
Working as a maid for white people abroad, or wealthier lighter-skinned people in Paz, she descends into depression and finally into madness.
