Fiction September Swimming in the Monsoon Sea Shyam Selvadurai Karen Fernandez A stunning novel of first – and unexpected – love ISBN 0-88776-735-4 US $18.95 CAN $24.99 fiction/homosexuality/Asia/social situations/new experience ages 13+ 224 pages 5 1/8 x 7 5/8 hardcover with jacket Rights: World ex North America 24/carton JUV039080 JUV030020 JUV039090 On Sale: September 13, 2005 The setting is Sri Lanka, 1980, and it is the season of monsoons. Fourteen-year-old Amrith is caught up in the life of the cheerful, well-to-do household in which he is being raised by his vibrant Auntie Bundle and kindly Uncle Lucky. He tries not to think of his life “before,” when his doting mother was still alive. Amrith’s holiday plans seem unpromising: he wants to appear in his school’s production of Othello and he is learning to type at Uncle Lucky’s tropical fish business. Then, like an unexpected monsoon, his cousin arrives from Canada and Amrith’s ordered life is storm-tossed. He finds himself falling in love with the Canadian boy. Othello, with its powerful theme of disastrous jealousy, is the backdrop to the drama in which Amrith finds himself immersed. Shyam Selvadurai’s brilliant novels, Funny Boy and Cinnamon Gardens, have garnered him international acclaim. In this, his first young adult novel, he explores first love with clarity, humor, and compassion.
