This story starts off weird and ended even more weird. I was confused for the most part but I finally was able to put it all together..... Here is what happened from my understanding.
Fleur is about a woman who is said to be married to the waterman, Misshepeshu. She is known for drowning twice and also for when the men who try to revive her end up dead. She moved from her town because of the talk that was going around about her, and no one wanted to be around her because they were afraid for their lives.
She ended up working in a Butcher's shop with four men and a young girl. The men were all fascinated by her, but not by her beauty alone but because she could play cards. the only person that noticed that she was odd was the young girl. She noticed that she had odd features like the green dress that clung to her body, her sharp teeth, and that she didn't have any toes.
One night Fleur beat all of the men in a card game and they ended up getting drunk and mad. They went after her. Chasing her out of the young girl's sight.
The next morning Fleur is gone and the town ends up in a horrible tornado that destroys just about everything and leaves three of the men missing. They were later found in hiding dead and stiff.
Fleur lived and moved back to Lake Turcot, where she came from. No one bothered to mess with her, even when she had a son. He was of penny color with blue eyes. The people wondered who fathered the child. Fleur liked that everyone wondered about her and her child and let them continue to wonder.

i agree the beginning was a little confusing but i think that it got really good after you got through the beginning.
