Summary:
"Set in mythical Belle Coeur County in a time not too far from our own,
Rose
&
Poe
gloriously re-imagines Shakespeare's The Tempest from the point of view of Caliban and his mother.
Rose
and her giant, simple son,
Poe
, live quietly on the fringes of their town - tending their goats and working at odd jobs. Prosper Thorne, banished from his big-city law practice and worrying about his fading memory, obsessively watches over his beloved daughter Miranda. When
Poe
erupts from the forest one day carrying Miranda's bruised and bloody body, he is arrested, despite his protestations of get help-get help-get help. Overnight,
Rose
and
Poe
find themselves pariahs in the county where they have lived all their lives. In the face of bitter hatred and threats from her neighbours, the implacable
Rose
devotes all her strength to proving
Poe
's innocence and saving him from prison or worse.
Rose
&
Poe
is a tale of a mother's boundless love for an apparently unlovable child, and a stunning
fable
for our own troubled times. It will stick in your memory like sweet wild honey."--From publisher.
