Description
After the sudden loss of his pregnant wife, Ruth, a man is drawn into a haunting journey that begins at the confluence of three rivers and unfolds across the charged landscape of Guyana. As grief curdles into obsession, the story moves through danger, moral fracture, and the search for meaning—where memory, history, and the living present collide. In Wilson Harris’s distinctive, lyrical style, the novel treats resurrection not as a simple return, but as a radical reimagining of identity and time. Blending quest and psychological reckoning, it explores themes of loss and renewal, the instability of truth, and the ways violence and betrayal can fracture a life—and a world—before it can be remade.
