A novel of fractured family and the search to protect-or discard-what unites them, this story traces one older woman's decision to uphold the wishes of those who have departed over her sisters' objections.
When Pearline abruptly leaves her life in Brooklyn and returns to her childhood home in Jamaica to care for her dying father, Rupert, she leaves her grown daughter to cope, overwhelmed, with her granddaughters back in Brooklyn.
But Pearline isn't prepared for Rupert's puzzling deathbed wish that she find siblings she hasn't seen in 60 years. What is revealed in the wake of Rupert's death is the secret that splintered the family. Moving through time and place, The House of Plain Truth charts the family's traumatic past in Cuba, where Rupert had sought a better life and where three of Pearline's siblings remained when the rest of the family left for Jamaica. Everything Pearline learns challenges what she knows about her family and the place she has always called home.
In lush, lyrical prose inspired by the author's own family story, this novel explores the divided loyalties within a family, the true meaning of home, and what one woman has to sacrifice to get what she ultimately wants.
