One Easter Sunday, an abandoned baby is found on the streets of Fond-Zombi. This child, named Pascal, grows up to become a mixed-race young man with green eyes like the sea. As Pascal matures, the mystery of his origin begins to unsettle him. Rumors about his healing and miraculous abilities spread throughout the island, fueling speculation that he might be a son of God. However, Pascal faces the great mysteries of the world, such as racism, exploitation, and globalization, as he seeks his own path and meaning in life. This novel by Maryse Condé is a tale of biblical dimensions that explores themes of identity, faith, and the challenges of the human condition.
