Tommy Orange author of There There After the death of his brother a grief - stricken young man seeks refuge and oblivion in a secluded fishing village dominated by a family of brujas in this haunting debut novel inspired in part by the ramifications of Din history and thought a mesmerizing original tale in the tradition of works by Toni Morrison Haruki Murakami and Gabriel Garc a M rquez. When the river swallowed Kai Damien's little brother didn t die so much as vanish. As the unbearable loss settles deeper into his bones Damien a small - town line cook walks away from everything he has ever known. Driving as far south as his old truck and his legs allow he lands in a fishing village beyond the reach of his past where he hopes he can finally forget. But the village has grief of its own. The same day that Damien arrives a young woman from the community's most powerful family is being laid to rest. A stranger in town Damien is the object of gossip and suspicion ignored by all except the dead girl's mother Ana Maria who offers Damien a room and a job. Grateful for her kindness Damien soon begins to fall under Ana Maria's charismatic spell. But how long can he resist the rumors swirling through town suggesting she might have had something to do with her daughter's death?

Swiftly Damien finds himself caught in a power struggle between the brujas a whirlwind battle that threatens to sweep the whole village out to sea.
