{"product_id":"land-of-love-and-drowning-a-novel","title":"Land of Love and Drowning: A Novel","description":"Recipient of the 2014 American Academy of Arts and Letters Rosenthal Foundation Award\n\nA major debut from an award-winning writer—an epic family saga set against the magic and the rhythms of the Virgin Islands.\n\nIn the early 1900s, the Virgin Islands are transferred from Danish to American rule, and an important ship sinks into the Caribbean Sea. Orphaned by the shipwreck are two sisters and their half brother, now faced with an uncertain identity and future. Each of them is unusually beautiful, and each is in possession of a particular magic that will either sink or save them.\n\nChronicling three generations of an island family from 1916 to the 1970s, Land of Love and Drowning is a novel of love and magic, set against the emergence of Saint Thomas into the modern world. Uniquely imagined, with echoes of Toni Morrison, Gabriel García Márquez, and the author’s own Caribbean family history, the story is told in a language and rhythm that evoke an entire world and way of life and love. Following the Bradshaw family through sixty years of fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, love affairs, curses, magical gifts, loyalties, births, deaths, and triumphs, Land of Love and Drowning is a gorgeous, vibrant debut by an exciting, prizewinning young writer.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1594488339\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1594488339.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yanique, Tiphanie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
