Shaped by slavery, rebellion, and repression, the small coastal village in Trinidad is now facing a crackdown by the government, just as its people have taken in Milagros, an 11-year-old refugee from Venezuela. Meanwhile, scarlet ibis birds have mysteriously started appearing in town, and New Felicity's superstitious fisherman fear the worst, certain they've brought on bad luck by killing a local witch. Skittish that a reporter's story will bring down the wrath of the Ministry of National Security, the fishermen take things into their own hands.</p><p>Justin Haynes's widely acclaimed <i>Ibis</i> moves backward and forward in time, from the town's early days as a sugar plantation to Milagros's adulthood as she searches for her mother across the Americas. A novel of mothers and daughters, origins and becomings, <i>Ibis </i>is a moving exploration of the migrant crisis and the contemporary Caribbean.</p>
