The Dance of the Sea

Books by Soosaiya Anthreas

This story is so moving that I had to stop reading to catch my breath several times and share tidbits aloud with my family and colleagues.

- Suzanne Bowen, editor

I love how Soosaiya has caught the vulnerability of each character, no matter how strong or weak they are meant to be. This should be a movie! Anyone who enjoyed the Life of Pi like we all we did…would love this story.

This is a tale of fisher-folk that lives in an obscure-coastal-slum-village situated in the southernmost tip of Indian Subcontinent, from where Sebastian rises to become an engineer among the illiterate ruffian mass who have nerves of steel and proclivity for ethnocentric violence. Sebastian deserts Gloria after his long trysts climax in a passionate lovemaking in the moonlit coconut grove where both lose their virginity. Gloria lives independent and becomes a rare and multi-faceted personality—a successful painter, an entrepreneur, and a social worker—riding well past Sebastian in fame and wealth. Torn between warring in-laws and his poverty-stricken-sister Rebecca, Sebastian takes sides with in-laws leaving his sister in financial predicament. Gloria supports Rebecca in the latter’s financial crisis. The Nature is unkind to them. Tsunami in 2004 wreaks devastating destruction: thousands of fisherfolk die like flies; their properties return to the depth of the sea. The rivalry between mechanised fishing and traditional vallam fishing escalates as arsonists set the fishing trawlers afire including the one owned by Rebecca. Will Sebastian recue his sister Rebecca from the aftermath of misfortunes? Will the karma of deserting Gloria haunt Sebastian? What is that secret which Gloria has kept undisclosed to Sebastian all along? What does shape the psyche of these catholic fisherfolk-the faith in religion or the sorcery? The reader can find the answers after passing through the dark tunnels of suspense and awe-inspiring unique lifestyles of humanity unknown to the world.
