No one knows that Bonaventure's silence is filled with resonance-- a miraculous gift of rarified hearing that encompasses the Universe of Every Single Sound. Growing up in the big house on Christopher Street in Bayou Cymbaline, Bonaventure can hear flowers grow, a thousand shades of blue, and the miniature tempests that rage inside raindrops. He can also hear the gentle voice of his father, William Arrow, shot dead before Bonaventure was born by a mysterious stranger known only as the Wanderer. Bonaventure's remarkable gift of listening promises salvation to the souls who love him: his beautiful young mother, Dancy, haunted by the death of her husband; his Grand-meÌre Letice, plagued by grief and a long-buried guilt she locks away in a chapel; and his father, William, whose roaming spirit must fix the wreckage of the past. With the help of Trinidad Prefontaine, a Creole housekeeper endowed with her own special gifts, Bonaventure will find the key to long-buried mysteries and soothe a chorus of family secrets clamoring to be healed. 650 0 $a Mute persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Listening $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vodou $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Louisiana $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127011318.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720042609.0 952 $l DQPA403 $d 20180703023856.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5D4BE10A438411E39246D9B8DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
