Fingerprints of previous owners : a novel / Rebecca Entel. by Entel, Rebecca, author. Los Angeles, California : The Unamed Press, [2017] Subjects Hotel cleaning personnel -- Fiction.   Plantations -- Fiction.   Plantation life -- Fiction.   Excavations (Archaeology) -- Fiction.   Social conflict -- Fiction. ISBN:  1944700234 (paperback) 9781944700232 (paperback) : Description:  235 pages ; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "At a Caribbean resort built atop a former slave plantation, Myrna works as a maid by day; by night she trespasses on the resort's overgrown inland property, secretly excavating the plantation ruins that her island community refuses to acknowledge. Rapt by the crumbling walls of the once slave-owner's estate, she explores the unspoken history of the plantation--a site where her ancestors once worked the land, but which the resort now uses as a lookout point for tourists. When Myrna discovers a book detailing the experiences of slaves, who still share a last name with the majority of the islanders, her investigation becomes deeply personal, extending to her neighbors and friends, and explaining her mother's self-imposed silence and father's disappearance. A new generation begins to speak about the past just as racial tensions erupt between the resort and the local island community when an African-American tourist at the resort is brutally attacked."--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Entel Checked In Add Copy to MyList
