Publisher's Notes
A PLACE WHERE THE SEA REMEMBERS is a haunting tale of love and anger, hope and tragedy, filled with characters who will linger long after the last page has been turned. At the heart of this tale is Chayo, the flower-seller, and her husband, Candelario, the salad-maker, who may finally be blessed with the child they thought they would never have. But their cause for happiness triggers a chain of events that marks the lives of everyone in the Mexican village of Santiago. Their hopes, triumphs, shortcomings, and failures form an indelible impression of a world in which destiny can hinge on the smallest of actions. A PLACE WHERE THE SEA REMEMBERS, an astonishing debut by a new voice in American fiction, is a book you will never forget.

Eucalyptus
by Murray Bail
A haunting and unexpected love story from one of Australia's finest writers. On a property in western New South Wales, a man named Holland lives with his daughter, Ellen. Over the years, as she grows into a beautiful young woman, he plants hundreds of different eucalyptus trees, filling in the landscape, making a virtual outdoor museum of trees. When Ellen is nineteen, Holland announces his decision: she may only marry the man who can correctly name the species of each and every gum tree on his property. Suitors emerge from all corners, including the straight-backed Mr. Cave, a world expert on these famous Australian trees. But one day, walking down by the river, where silver light slants into the motionless trunks, Ellen chances on a strange young man resting under the Coolibah tree. In the days that follow, he tells her dozens of stories--set in cities, deserts, and faraway countries. Eucalyptus is at once a modern fairy tale and a marvelously touching love story, played out against the spearing light and broken shadows of Australia--its land, its history, its people. Murray Bail's cunning, intricate, and mesmerizing narrative bristles with spiky truths and unexpected wisdom about art, feminine beauty, landscape, and language. More, it eloquently affirms the seductive power of storytelling itself.
