Astral Le Noireau is finally at home in Scotland Bay, in her Chateau on the Hill where she can sit on the south balcony and watch the Remous tremble through the Bocas and fire dance across the evening sky at sunset. Florine Bruce can do none of those things. Reared in poverty at a Convent in rural Trinidad, Florine’s claim to the Le Noireau wealth has been ruthlessly swatted aside by the local courts and the status quo. For decades she has lived in Astral Le Noireau’s shadow, seething while her dreams evaporate like mist rolling through Chaguaramas Valley at sunrise. Florine knows who and what belongs to her and she will not be denied her rightful place at the Le Noireau table. She is a Dame Lorraine, a perfect mimic of French creole plantocracy who gorged on the fruits of her labour and left her hungry and wanting. The masks come off as descendants of Lisette and Jean Louis Le Noireau square off in this penultimate duel in Scotland Bay.
