It's a cautionary tale, about what happens to girls who disobey their mothers and go into the Baxter's Tunnels. When she's grown, Lala lives on the beach with her husband, Adan, a petty criminal with endless charisma whose thwarted burglary of one of the beach mansions sets off a chain of events with terrible consequences. A gunshot no one was meant to witness. A new mother whose baby is found lifeless on the beach. A woman torn between two worlds and incapacitated by grief. And two men driven into the Tunnels by desperation and greed who attempt a crime that will risk their freedom - and their lives. How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House is an intimate and visceral portrayal of interconnected lives, across race and class, in a rapidly changing resort town, told by an astonishing new author of literary fiction."--Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social classes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Criminals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Social classes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122346 650 7 $a Murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029781 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977397 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Criminals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883516 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 0 $a Barbados $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Barbados. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205547 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025619.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=48BA2FAE4EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
