âA classic Romeo and Juliet love storyâ spanning decades from the World War II Caribbean to modern-day Vancouver (The Washington Post Book World).  At the dawn of the Second World War on the island of Guanagaspar, Harry, the son of a widowed maid, and Rose, the daughter of his motherâs well-to-do employer, are inseparable as children. Blissfully unaware, they form a connection that knows nothing of race or class hierarchies defining their society. Then one night, after American troops occupy Guanagaspar, their deep friendship is exposed and severed. When Harry and Rose meet again in Canada years later, the gulf separating them is not so apparent. As a passion long repressed is rekindled, Rose takes it upon herself to reroute their destinies.  A âtranscendent tale of souls wounded by circumstance and rehabilitated by loveâ (Booklist, starred review), He Drown She in the Sea is a lyrical, sensuous, and suspenseful story about the origins of desire and the sacrifice and euphoria that come with defying the life one is born into. With a ânarrative pacing verg[ing] on genius . . . The worlds revealed are lush and brilliant. The journey is delightfulâ (Edmonton Journal). |
