After her son is murdered by the natives, Felicia "expresses her grief in a personal ritual of remembering her son and others who have died violently on the island, including those she 'knows' only through the island's oral history. Each year she marks the deaths in an act of commemoration that becomes, finally, a celebration of life."--Jacket.
