Morning Girl by Michael Dorris, 1992

A coming-of-age novella (can I say bildungsroman?) told from the alternating viewpoints of native Bahamian sister and brother. Siblings who are as different as night and day find loyalty and love for each other. I didn't like the Columbus ending. While it points out the contrast in each group's priorities, it is too startling, not organic. It felt like Dorris had his political axe to grind.
