He Drown She in the Sea is the long-awaited new novel by Shani Mootoo, the award-winning author of Cereus Blooms at Night. The novel, set in the Caribbean, is a vivid and subtle story of love and class division and the unrelenting hold of the past. This is Edmonton resident Ms. Mootoo’s only appearance in Eastern Canada on the publication of this much anticipated novel.  The Far Away Home is Edmonton native Marci Denesiuk’s first book. Her stories peel away the surface of women’s lives to reveal the demons within. A writer to watch. An autograph session with the authors will follow.
