Set on the fictional Caribbean island of Guanagaspar around the
time of the Second World War, and in modern-day Vancouver, "He
Drown She in the Sea, " fulfills the promise of Shani Mootoo's
internationally acclaimed debut novel, "Cereus Blooms at Night."
At the centre of the story is Harry St. George, the sonof a
laundress, and the unrequited love he bears for a woman, Rose, the
daughter of a wealthy man, whom he knew as a child. Looking back to
his past, evoking the rich culture and texture of his Caribbean
boyhood, and the life of his mother, Dolly, Harry reveals his
friendship with Rose, and the events that will continue to haunt
him across time and place. When Rose arrives suddenly in Vancouver,
where Harry has built a hard-earned life for himself, the two
embark on an impossible affair that will have tragic consequences.
"He Drown She in the Sea" is a vividly evoked, subtly described
story of love, class division, and the unrelenting hold of the
past, told by one of our most gifted writers. Shani Mootoo joins
the front ranks of Carribean literature, in the company of Austin
Clarke and Dionne Brand.
