The Boiling Season: A Novel

The Boiling Season: A Novel

An ambitious young man struggles to define himself and his future while his Caribbean homeland plunges into a violent revolution, in a novel that recalls Ann Patchettâ€™s Bel Canto and Kazuo Ishiguroâ€™s Remains of the Day: Hopwood Award-winning writer Christopher Hebertâ€™s The Boiling Season. A passionate, intimate exploration of one manâ€™s loss of innocence and reclamation of identity, this compassionate and compellingly character-driven novel will speak to readers of Barabara Kingsolver and J. M. Coetzee, as Hebertâ€™s illuminating and visceral portrayal of a popular insurrection against an all-powerful dictatorâ€”a backdrop that echoes events in Haitiâ€”beautifully translates the struggles of our contemporary world into a work of soaring and unforgettable literary fiction.
