Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recipient of the 2014 American Academy of Arts and Letters Rosenthal Foundation Award A major debut from an award-winning writer—an epic family saga set against the magic and the rhythms of the Virgin Islands. In the early 1900s, the Virgin Islands are transferred from Danish to American rule, and an important ship sinks into the Caribbean Sea. Orphaned by the shipwreck are two sisters and their half brother, now faced with an uncertain identity and future. Each of them is unusually beautiful, and each is in possession of a particular magic that will either sink or save them. Chronicling three generations of an island family from 1916 to the 1970s, 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. Following the Bradshaw family through sixty years of fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, love affairs, curses, magical gifts, loyalties, births, deaths, and triumphs, Land of Love and Drowning is a gorgeous, vibrant debut by an exciting, prizewinning young writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basis for the Herman Wouk–Jimmy Buffett musical: A middle-aged New Yorker buys a Caribbean hotel and learns that paradise has its drawbacks in this novel that “moves as fast as a Marx Brothers movie” (The New York Times Book Review). Broadway press agent Norman Paperman is pushing fifty with one heart attack already under his belt. So he decides to chuck the stressful Manhattan life and bring his wife and teenage daughter to a lush green island. With the help of a wheeler-dealer friend, he winds up buying a small hotel. How hard could running one be? Pretty hard, actually, when you throw in an earthquake, plumbing problems, rampaging ants, and a few more unexpected developments at the Gull Reef Club. Before long, Norman’s spirit is as drained as his bank account, his marriage is on the brink, and he’s desperately searching for a way out of this beautiful nightmare . . . Don’t Stop the Carnival is a clever comic departure for the Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of such classics as Marjorie Morningstar, The Winds of War, and The Caine Mutiny—and eventually served as the basis for the celebrated Jimmy Buffett album and stage musical. “Funny [and] continuously entertaining. . . . Norman Paperman, although hardly an admirable person, is exceedingly human and entirely believable. One cringes with sympathy for him.” —The New York Times “His sandy beaches are alive with stinging sand flies . . . farce laced with tears.” —Time

Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of The House of the Spirits and A Long Petal of the Sea tells the story of one unforgettable woman—a slave and concubine determined to take control of her own destiny—in this sweeping historical novel that moves from the sugar plantations of Saint-Domingue to the lavish parlors of New Orleans at the turn of the 19th century “Allende is a master storyteller at the peak of her powers.”—Los Angeles Times The daughter of an African mother she never knew and a white sailor, Zarité—known as Tété—was born a slave on the island of Saint-Domingue. Growing up amid brutality and fear, Tété found solace in the traditional rhythms of African drums and the mysteries of voodoo. Her life changes when twenty-year-old Toulouse Valmorain arrives on the island in 1770 to run his father’s plantation, Saint Lazare. Overwhelmed by the challenges of his responsibilities and trapped in a painful marriage, Valmorain turns to his teenaged slave Tété, who becomes his most important confidant. The indelible bond they share will connect them across four tumultuous decades and ultimately define their lives.

Book excerpt: This hardcover book by marine ecologist Dr. Caroline S. Rogers consists of 331 pages of high-resolution color photographs of birds and marine life from around the island of St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, with most of them taken within Virgin Islands National Park. It has sections on birds, fish, corals, octopuses, sea turtles and other animals, most of which also occur elsewhere in the Western Atlantic and the Caribbean. Brief essays describe the coral reefs and associated biodiversity around this small island. The book also includes a very attractive map of St. John based on a photomosaic. Each page has one or more high-resolution, glossy images with informative, non-technical captions. Including the Index, the Acknowledgments, and References brings the total number of pages to 344. The Index is a list of each page with the common and scientific names of the subjects, and the location where each picture was taken.The book complements the author's previous books: Coral Reef Stars: A Galaxy of Undersea Images, in 2009, and The Mysterious, Magical Mangroves of St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, in 2011. It captures the natural beauty of St. John but also acknowledges the changes in the seascape, particularly those associated with the island's coral reefs, including the effects of the devastating hurricanes in 2017 and the recent arrival of a virulent coral disease. The book is becoming more and more of a compelling record of what has already been lost while focusing on what remains and hoping that recovery is still possible. The author believes that people will only protect what they know and understand and hopes that this book will bring pleasure and awareness to its readers, along with a greater sense of connection to the natural world which is now particularly threatened and in crisis.
