Sobre IBD

In the late 19th century, an English missionary arrives on a remote island in the Indian Ocean, intent on wiping our fornication among the natives. Instead he incurs a curse that strikes first his dark-skinned wife, then his son and grandson. But is the curse supernatural--or a white man’s guilty fascination with an alien new world? 'A hypnotic, cryptic, haunting exploration of the power of memory'.--Boston Globe.
