By the author of Infinite Country, a Reese's Book Club pick 2021
WINNER OF THE DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE 2017 Reina Castillo's
beloved brother is serving a death sentence for a crime that
shocked the community - a crime for which Reina secretly blames
herself. When she is at last released from her seven-year prison
vigil, Reina moves to a sleepy town in the Florida Keys seeking
anonymity. There, she meets Nesto, a recently exiled Cuban awaiting
with hope the arrival of the children he left behind in Havana.
Through Nesto's love of the sea and capacity for faith, Reina comes
to understand her own connections to the life-giving and
destructive forces of the ocean that surrounds her as well as its
role in her family's troubled history. Set in the vibrant coastal
and Caribbean communities of Miami; the Florida Keys; Havana, Cuba;
and Cartagena, Colombia, The Veins of the Ocean is a wrenching
exploration of what happens when life tests the limits of
compassion, and a stunning and unforgettable portrait of fractured
lives finding solace in the beauty and power of the natural world,
and in one another.
