With Sphinx, Andrea Dejean has given us a captivating novel of ecological mystery and environmental intrigue. Paulie takes over her late Grandfather's homestead in the rainforest of French Guiana just as her life seems to be running off the rails. The subsistence salary she earns there collecting Sphinx moth specimens for a former professor is just barely enough to keep her supplied with rice, raisins, limes, sardines and (far too often) rum, but the forest provides her a newfound sense of peace and comfort where others might feel fear and discomfort. That sense of security is threatened, however, after she becomes convinced someone is shooting at her in the forest and possibly trying to kill her, as improbable as it seems to her small circle of friends. She struggles to find the truth about what exactly is going on in the heart of the jungle . . . and in her own heart. Events quickly unfold as she is compelled into action in her search for clarity and redemption. In the end, the Sphinx moths teach her valuable lessons about friendship, courage and the stewardship of the fragile ecological system and complex economic environment of the Amazon rainforest.
