Ten Years of Spring - A Connor Caine Novel

Beschreibung

Considered for the 2023 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction In 1950s Guatemala-where fruit rots slower than truth-Connor Caine returns to the plantations of his youth, trading Ivy League ambition for exile in a land where revolution simmers in the shade of the banana groves. Once the son of a United Fruit executive, now a reluctant plantation boss, Connor finds himself caught between the ghosts of empire, the fire of a woman named Abigail, and the coming storm of the CIA-backed coup. As the nation teeters on the edge of liberation and betrayal, Connor must choose between the wealth that made him and the people who raised him. In a world where nothing is as it seems-and everyone is expendable-love becomes treason, and silence, a kind of sin. Told with unflinching honesty and poetic force, Ten Years of Spring is a haunting meditation on power, privilege, and the cost of doing nothing.

Autor

Romer Shaw was born in New Orleans, raised on stories older than the soil, and called-again and again-back to the Mississippi Delta.His roots stretch through generations of Mississippi blood, but it's more than lineage that binds him to that land. It's a pull. A presence. Something spiritual. As if the alluvial earth itself had a claim on his soul.Writing in the tradition of Faulkner, Baldwin, Woodrell, and Mosley, Romer crafts Southern Gothic stories soaked in memory, fire, and moral reckoning. His work centers the Delta-its ghosts, its heat, its brutal beauty-as both character and curse.He now lives in Northwest Montana, where the mountains keep their own kind of silence-but the Delta still speaks. Always.
