| Notes | A Gothic tale set in Africa, this is a sad and portentous book, the language hushed and dark, the rhythms slow and heavy. It tells of Ursula and George, white Kenyan farmers, and their daughter Susan, tended by Ayah, who croons to her and caresses her soft, pale hair. Soon after Susan is born, Ayah, only 15, gives birth to a black, bright-eyed boy, whom Ursula, who had determined on a son, calls Isaac ("he who laughs") and raises like a princeling alongside Susan.
