Set on a fictional Caribbean island during World War II and in
modern-day Vancouver, "He Drown She in the Sea"is the spellbinding
story of two childhood friends reunited late in life. As children,
Rose Sangha and her housekeeper's son, Harry, are inseparable,
blissfully unaware of the subtleties of class hierarchy until the
night Harry is banished from the Sangha home. When Harry and Rose
meet again in Canada years later, the gulf separating them is not
so apparent. They have a life-affirming affair and Rose dares to
reroute their destinies. This is a haunting, sensuous, and
suspenseful story about love against all odds, and the sacrifice
and euphoria that come with defying the life one is born
into.
