From back A SAGA OF SIN... This is a shocking book—the violent, panoramic chronicle of a family born of vice and brutality, bred to arrogance and lust and greed.... Beginning with Kaywana, half-civilized daughter of an English father and a native mother, the author creates with stark reality a powerful narrative of 150 years in a strange culture, set against a background of war, tropical passions and jungle rebellions. This is a novel charged with the defiant brutality of an exotic family. It moves with relentless fury through debauchery and endless conflict from its first page to its last.
