...private consulting firm, instructs at Cobray International, and consults with these organizations..." What kind of consultant, you ask? Will, she helps these organizations "plan change and solve problems," if that's any help. Before her planning career, Peelle was "a manager, a teacher, and has driven a delivery truck." Obviously a survivor...
Government forces, meanwhile, continued to attempt forays against the leftist insurgents holed up in remote areas. Last week skirmishes took place around the town of Suchitoto, where the guerrillas have cut off the water supply and isolated townspeople from a nearby reservoir. National Guard escorts now accompany water trucks to the town; one truck was blown up last week and its driver killed. Ironically, the guerrilla-induced water shortage has transformed the government forces in Suchitoto into local heroes-hardly the tactics recommended in the guerrilla warfare handbook...

Morrison, whose Song of Solomon (1977) won the National Book Critics Circle award for fiction, blends elements of racial identity, assimilation and Caribbean folklore with an old-fashioned lady-and-the-truck-driver romance. Can sophisticated Jadine and her black diamond in the rough make it, even after he has a haircut and borrows a Hickey Freeman suit? Or will Ryk, a rich somebody, lure her back to Paris by sending her a sealskin coat she cannot wear in the tropics...
