| Capturing all the rueful irony and racial ambiavalence of small-town Mississippi in the late 1950 s， Melinda Haynes celebrated novel is a wholly unforgettable exploration of family， identity， and redemption. Mother of Pearl revolves around twenty-eight-year-old Even Grade， a black man who grew up an orphan， and Valuable Korner， the fifteen-year-old white daughter of the town whore and an unknown father. Both are passionately determined to discover the precious things neither experienced as children: human connection， enduring commitment， and， above all， unconditional love. A startlingly accomplished mixture of beauty， mystery， and tradedy， Mother of Pearl marks the debut of an extraordinary literary talent. |
