Classic Literature. Fiction. HTML:<b>A unique bond forms between a twelve-year-old and a Jamaican housekeeper in this moving novel that is "a work of art" (<i>Los Angeles Times</i>).</b><br /> <br /> The basis for the beloved film starring Whoopi Goldberg, this prize-winning novel by the author of <i>Nightswimmer</i> and <i>Cloudland</i> charts the profound, rare friendship between a wise woman named Clara and David, a twelve-year-old boy adrift in the wake of a family tragedy and his parents' broken marriage. As the two grow closer, she brings him into her special world of <i>patois</i> and Jamaican beauty parlors and shadowy alliances, and he comes to realize that in her native country Clara has left behind a mystery, which he grows determined to unveil.<br /> <br /> Heralded as a classic, <i>Clara's Heart</i> is at once moving and comical, a tribute to unconventional love, by "a writer in total command of his narrative" (Ian McEwan).<br />.
