When a local priest molests a young boy, parents conspire, mobsters appear, an “angel” from Providence descends, andevoking Montaup’s brutal colonial pastthe unsaid gets said. And done.
In the Rhode Island backwater town of Sowams at the base of Mount Hopeor Montaupa childhood traffic accident has rendered Jate Tavino, skull-plated, growth-stunted, and rattled-up good. As an adolescent Jate can’t match the mental prowess of his non-identical twin brother Ross, or thephysical stamina of his street-wise pal, Pruney Mendoza.
Both Pruney and Ross lament, “Jate don’t get things.” But Jate gets far more than isplate-in-the-headobvious.
And Jate writes it all down: colorfully distorted regional history, hotly debated literature, ethnic religious rituals, tales of the dead, and hush-hushcross-your-heartsecrets of the living.
Years of cross-country roving have provided J Dominic with the “praspective” expressed by Jate’s dad, “You never get such an up close view as when you’re far away.”
