      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: In this distinctly African novel, full of magical realism, Lord applies scientific principles in key moments to explain how magic works. When Paama leaves her husband, who is a fool and a glutton, she attracts the attention of the undying ones--the djombi--who present her with a gift that allows her to manipulate the subtle forces of the world. Robin Miles uses accents, pacing, and intonation to depict the variety of characters, talking insects, spirit spies, and more. Reading with seriousness and mischievous good humor, Miles provides a steady, clear presentation. Paama's tale is both poignant and funny. Listeners will also enjoy its thought-provoking message.

        Starred review from April 19, 2010
        Lord's debut, a retelling of a Senegalese folktale, packs a great deal of subtly alluring storytelling into this small package. Paama flees her gluttonous husband, Ansige; two years later, he hires the master tracker Kwame to find her. Kwame reluctantly takes the job to finance his own wanderlust. These events draw the attention of the Indigo Lord, one of the powerful spirits called Djombi. He wielded the power of Chaos until it was taken from him and given to Paama, and he wants it back. An unnamed narrator, sometimes serious and often mischievous, spins delicate but powerful descriptions of locations, emotions, and the protagonists' great flaws and great strengths as they interact with family, poets, tricksters, sufferers of tragedy, and—of course—occasional moments of pure chaos.
