About the book:
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.
A gorgeous, vibrant debut by an exciting, prizewinning young writer.
