On a hill overlooking Bell Village sits the Changoor farm, where Dalton and Marlee Changoor live in luxury unrecognizable to those who reside in the farm's shadow. Down below is the Barrack, a ramshackle building of wood and tin, divided into rooms occupied by whole families. Among these families are the Saroops--Hans, Shweta, and their son, Krishna, all three born of the barracks. Theirs are hard lives of backbreaking work, grinding poverty, devotion to faith, and a battle against nature and a social structure designed to keep them where they are. But when Dalton goes missing and Marlee's safety is compromised, farmhand Hans is lured by the promise of a handsome stipend to move to the farm as a watchman. As the mystery of Dalton's disappearance unfolds, the lives of the wealthy couple and those who live in the barracks below become insidiously entwined, their community changed forever and in shocking ways."-- $c From publisher's description. 541 $d 20230309. 650 $a Farm life $v Fiction. 650 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 651 $a Trinidad $x History $v Fiction. 651 $a Trinidad and Tobago $x History $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20230627010104.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F0056F8214AF11EE8C76ABEC35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
