Too much old-fashioned austerity would rob the child of enjoying his best days, those of
childhood.
Juline feels that she has achieved the ultimate - marriage to Bernard
Hemmings. He is tall, brown and handsome, and has curly hair. He lives
on the hills and has a massive house surrounded by lush greenery. Juline
is now rubbing shoulders with the Jones'. She has dreamt of such a conquest for some time
and her aspiration has materialized. Away with the dark-skinned father of her son, he is
now a reminder of her sad mistake.
Bernard Junior enters the world and Juline swears to put him above everything and
everyone else, including her first son, Jared. He is her precious son born in wedlock and
Bernard's only son. No one should usurp him. She becomes obsessed with Bernard Junior,
defending him even when he is wrong.
Blame should never be placed on her 'beautiful' son. It must be someone else who
causes him to do wrong, or Jared was not being a responsible bigger brother. His three
sisters from other relationships are intruders who must be dealt with and so is anyone who
stands in his way. Who dares to oppose Bernard Junior and to what end?
This, the school edition, contains notes and activities for each chapter, complemented by essay-style
questions, and aids both student and teacher in gaining a comprehensive understanding of this
thought-provoking intriguing story.
