Title: Forces at play in the Caribbean
Review: Jeannot, a child born into poverty on a Caribbean island, is "rescued" by Father Michel and raised by the Church. But Jeannot, who is a dynamic figure, goes beyond the spiritual-only concerns Father Michel has invested in Jeannot's upbringing and becomes a revolutionary, concerned with the plight of the poor on his island.He is elected president of the country, and institutes a series of sweeping reforms that put his own life in danger. Father Michel begins to question what Frankenstein's "monster" has been "created." Moore looks carefully at the three institutions fighting for power here: the Church, the military (representing greed and the "standard way" of doing business), and the "people" (Jeannot). Moore's writing is suspenseful and intelligent. Very well done.
