River meets the sea : a novel / Rachael Moorthy. by Moorthy, Rachael. Anansi, 2023. Call #: FICTION MOO Subjects Young men -- Fiction.   Youth, Tamil -- Fiction.   Teenage immigrants -- British Columbia -- Nanaimo -- Fiction.   Nineteen seventies -- Fiction.   Indigenous children -- British Columbia -- Vancouver -- Fiction.   Foster children -- Fiction.   Nineteen forties -- Fiction.   Water -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781487011420 (trade pbk.) Description:  388 p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  "An enthralling nautical epic, River Meets the Sea traces the dual timelines of a white-passing Indigenous foster child in 1940s Vancouver and a teenage immigrant in the suburbs of Nanaimo in the 1970s. A natural-born storyteller, Ronny is a left-handed 'alley mutt' without a birth certificate who searches for his mother everywhere -- most powerfully, he hears her voice in the surging Stó:lō River. Born in the middle of the ocean on a merchant ship departing Sri Lanka, Chandra is a Tamil boy with 'skin like a charred eggplant' who finds his haven from the pressure to assimilate by swimming and surfing in the Salish Sea. Moving gracefully between these parallel stories like a wave, the novel traces the seemingly separate lives of these sensitive young men and their everlasting connections to water. When their troubled paths inevitably cross, they form a sacred bond based on the mutual understanding of what it means to be othered, illuminating the interconnectedness of humanity and our innate relationship with the natural world."--Provided by publisher.
