Trinidad, formerly part of the British Empire, 1970s .." It appears that the Inspector had an outside child and that you are his outside grandchild. It's like in that Harry Belafonte calypso: 'Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know.''That calypso?' Rufus repeated, again in disbelief. 'Don't you know that is Lord Melody's calypso? Don't you know what happened with Rum and Coca-Cola and many other calypsos?''I don't care whose calypso it is, Rufus. The point is that you are apparently part of a little shame and scandal in the family.' "Rufus's life has much to offer. In spite of his haphazard family background (aunties who act as mothers, fathers who don't seem too interested) Rufus has done well at school. The chance of a foreign university, and a way out of his narrow universe, are his for the taking. First, though, he has to get a passport. But, passport offices have this quaint habit of wanting to know who your parents were.Rufus would like to know, too. In fact, his passionate desire to know which of his many uncles and aunties, which of the many family friends, are his real biological parents, comes to dominate his daily life. But some secrets don't want to be uncovered .
