Redemption in Indigo

Oh, I do love modern fables. There's always something refreshing about different takes on the same stories that, to me, form part of the collective unconscious. Karen Lord takes a tale of redemption that, to some extent, we are all familiar with, and turns it into an enchanting story about resilience and the power of the human spirit. I found it, by turns, funny, sad, and absolutely exhilarating. For a first novel, it's certainly a very strong effort and there are only minor quibbles with the overall thing that keep it from a full five star rating for me.
