Sinopsis

When hurricane Angelita hits the Sargasso Sea, it brings down a plane carrying a team of star-quality swimmers, young men and women groomed from childhood to compete at the international level. Babe Delgado, a Cuban-American woman, survives - but barely, damaged in body and soul - and is recruited for a small university team. Coach Brenna Allen is tough, determined to build up Babe's strength, and driven to win. Ellie Marks, team captain, is a mediocre swimmer and the daughter of Holocaust survivors; she is struggling with her sexuality as much as she's working to win for Brenna - but she might have enough love in her to save Babe and herself. A sensitive, powerful tale of self-discovery, sexual identity, and violent emotions unleashed by sudden disaster, The Sea of Light is a haunting and brilliant novel.

Reseña del editor

The Sea of Light is a wise, beautiful, and very American story of three women and their desire to excel and win - and heal one another - in the highly charged world of athletic competition. Angelita is the hurricane that brings down a plane carrying a team of star-quality swimmers, groomed from childhood to compete at the international level. Babe Delgado is a young Cuban-American woman, presumed dead, who is rescued from the crash. Fifty-one hours in the Atlantic have left her scarred in body and spirit, afraid to compete again. Brenna Allen is a tough, driven swim coach at a small university, grieving for a lover lost to cancer. She finds solace in building her own winning team, driving her overworked captain, Ellie Marks, ever harder. Ellie is a child of holocaust survivors, struggling to own herself and her sexuality as hard as she's working to win. Brenna recruits Babe, promising to help her rebuild her damaged body, strength, and will. The Sea of Light is a story of wins, losses, and passions in a world where destiny and magic interfere with victory, where families are forced to reconcile with private hurts and false dreams, and where a redemptive, healing love between women - erotic and overwhelmingly intimate - stands in stark contrast to the expectations of the world. A sensitive, powerful tale of self-discovery, sexual identity, and violent emotions unleashed by sudden disaster, this novel is sure to command attention and acclaim.
