Book Synopsis Burning the Sea by : Sarah Pemberton Strong
Book excerpt: In this remarkable debut novel, Strong's poetically simple language enhances a story of emotional dislocation, cultural identity and the powerful forces of memory and desire. An accidental meeting in an airport in the Dominican Republic draws Michelle, a young American with holes in her past and a need to wander so strong that she walks in her sleep, and Tollomi, a native of the West Indies, thoroughly Americanised, gay and in search of his truer self, into a vortex of volatile political tensions on the island.
