  Beginning with the birth in 1928 of Mycea, the last of the intertwining ancestral families introduced in the earlier novel, The Fourth Century, and ending with her release from an asylum in 1978, the novel moves back and forth across a framework that weaves the story of Mycea's family against the legacy of Martinique as an island whose history and indigenous people have all but been erased.
