An
electrifying novel of an unconventional family in Trinidad mended by their
individual, and collective, quests for love--"a wonder [that] teems with
real, Trinidadian life" (Claire Adam, award-winning author of Golden
Child)
"Love After Love is gift
after gift. . . . Dazzlingly told in the most electrifying prose you will read
all year."--Marlon James, Booker Prize-winning author of Black Leopard,
Red Wolf
After Betty Ramdin's husband
dies, she invites a colleague, Mr. Chetan, to move in with her and her son,
Solo. Over time, the three become a family, loving each other deeply and
depending upon one another. Then, one fateful night, Solo overhears Betty
confiding in Mr. Chetan and learns a secret that plunges him into torment.
Solo flees Trinidad for New
York to carve out a lonely existence as an undocumented immigrant, and Mr.
Chetan remains the singular thread holding mother and son together. But soon,
Mr. Chetan's own burdensome secret is revealed, with heartbreaking consequences.
Love After Love interrogates love and family in all its myriad meanings and
forms, asking how we might exchange an illusory love for one that is truly
fulfilling.
In vibrant, addictive
Trinidadian prose, Love After Love questions who and how we love, the
obligations of family, and the consequences of choices made in desperation.
