Rape, the devastation of hurricane Flora, a child's tragic death, and an indifferent and corrupt government are some of the numerous problems challenging the people of Rosehill. Set on the fictional island of Santabella and spanning three years, You Alone Are Dancing follows the life of young Beatrice Salandy, balancing her ambitions, obligations, and love for Sonny Allen. Determined to create his own opportunities, Sonny leaves Rosehill for the United States in a swirl of promises and expectations. Beatrice remains on Rosehill, sharing her neighbors' struggle, adding their pain to her own, but sharing as well their music and their laughter, their history and their allegiance to it. Like Santabella, set in an indifferent blue sea, Rosehill is part of a larger neglected Caribbean society, and Beatrice must learn to negotiate its tides and ebbs, overcome its storm and ensure its lulls, as she peruses what has to be done. She succeeds--but at a price that changes her life fore
Editorial : Brenda Flanagan has constructed a rarity in contemporary American literature: a fully engaged political novel. In the tradition of V. S. Naipaul, she sets her tale on a Caribbean island under the shadow of corporate imperialism, complete with disenfranchised islanders, corrupt government ministers, scheming U.S. oil companies, and a bright young native named Sonny. A devastating hurricane sets in action a series of disasters that determine both Sonny's future and the prospects for his homeland.
It is full of good ideas and information, too much to learn in a few hours of study. Radio producer and author Jay Payleitner is a popular speaker on parenting and marriage, and has four sons. I cracked up with the 'docking' euphemism (think about it) and several other word usages that took on whole new meaning here. After reading this amazing book I become familiar with how to monitor wealth without putting a lot of effort rather than to invest money. BUT, it was good to review and also put back into practice anything that I had let slip. I thoroughly enjoyed the book from cover to cover. My husband felt the book was geared more toward women athletes, but he still read it. Also, it's over 20 years old. George's angling credentials are beyond question, having won back to back US National Fly Fishing championships, placed 5th in the Wotld Championships and coached the US youth teams. Overall, SUNDANCER is a warm, heartfelt story about healing and finding yourself. Bought the '92 edition
