From the best-selling author of Brother, I'm Dying and The Dew Breaker: a stunning new work of fiction that brings us deep into the intertwined lives of a small seaside town where a little girl, the daughter of a fisherman, has gone missing. Claire Limyè Lanmè - Claire of the Sea Light - is an enchanting child born into love and tragedy in Ville Rose, Haiti. Claire's mother died in childbirth, and on each of her birthdays Claire is taken by her father, Nozias, to visit her mother's grave. Nozias wonders if he should give away his young daughter to a local shopkeeper, who lost a child of her own, so that Claire can have a better life. But on the night of Claire's seventh birthday, when at last he makes the wrenching decision to do so, she disappears. As Nozias and others look for her, painful secrets, haunting memories, and startling truths are unearthed among the community of men and women whose individual stories connect to Claire, to her parents, and to the town itself. Told with piercing lyricism and the economy of a fable, "Claire of the Sea Light" is a tightly woven, breathtaking tapestry that explores what it means to be a parent, child, neighbor, lover, and friend, while revealing the mysterious bonds we share with the natural world and with one another. Embracing the magic and heartbreak of ordinary life, it is Edwidge Danticat's most spellbinding, astonishing book yet. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Turner, Ellen (illustrator).

The beautifully illustrated cover is in near fine condition, with light shelf rubbing and a minor bump on the top edge (rear). 10 x 6 ¾, 70 pages, 14 ounces XX Much as the long title implies this is the story of elves and a young boy. The elves came from Scotland to New Orleans and had trouble finding jobs until they discovered they could be the lamp lighters of Royal Street in the French Quarter. Each one had his own street lamp to take care of and to live in with the help of tiny spiral staircases. Michael's mother reads a bedtime story to him, but he soon falls asleep and dreams he is outside at night meeting the elves. One has just learned from the book Moby Dick that the sperm oil used for the lamps comes from melting down whale blubber. He is struck with remorse and finds it difficult to keep writing poetry and playing his recorder. This is really too bad because the other elves like his poems and often attach them to lamp posts on Royal Street. They are not happy to find a large Announcement attached to one of their lamp posts without permission. After reading it, they realize a meeting is going to be held at the mayor's office to discuss removing the oil lamps and putting in the new electric lights, which would make New Orleans modern and once more competitive with other 19th century American cities. But that replacement would also throw the eleves out of work. Michael goes with the elves to the meeting and the way the humans and the elves reach a compromise is interesting.
