    30 arpents “When he looked at the house – one of a dozen scattered over the emerald hill – and discovered that the 30 arpents he’d remembered from his childhood belonged, like the emerald hills, to the Frenchman who lived in Guadeloupe and that except for the kitchen garden and the village garden on the riverbank there was no land to care for, only this laughing, lying crone with a craving for apples, he wasn’t even angry. -Tar Baby, page 108-109 After returning to Isle des Chevaliers after…
