内容简介： |
Nana knows what her
future will bring, and she dreads it. Daughter of a proud Kwakiutl chief, she
will be sold in marriage to another tribe while her twin brother Nanolatch stays behind to become a warrior chief.
Together the twins will soon enter their initiation to adulthood and fulfill
the roles that have been determined for them since the day they were born. When the chief leads a
warring party to destroy another village and capture a slave, the fortunes of
the Kwakiutl tribe begin to turn. The chief casts about for a way to undo the
curse that has descended on his people. But only the young
slave, mute since the day she was torn from her village, can understand what
the Spirit World really expects. Daughter of a shaman, she is inextricably
linked with the twins. Driven by her sympathy for Nana’s plight and her hopeless love for Nanolatch, she is convinced that she alone can help the twins
find their true destinies, no matter what it costs. Set on the West Coast
of North America during the fifteenth century, Initiation is a powerful story
of a pound tribe, the Spirit World that guides them, and the desperate struggle
of three extraordinary young people on the brink of adulthood. |
