DESCRIPTION:The most magical, spellbinding book yet by the great Haitian-American 
 author, Claire of the Sea Light takes us deep into the intertwined lives in 
 a small seaside town where a little girl, daughter of a fisherman, has gone 
 missing.\n\n “The story she has given us is at every turn surprising, 
 shimmering, deft. It is a jewel—a remarkable book, as luminous as its 
 title.” —Author Ann Patchett\n\n “Danticat once again tells a story 
 that feels as mysterious and magical as a folk tale and as effective and 
 devastating as a newsreel. . . Danticat paints a stunning portrait of this 
 small Haitian town, in which the equally impossible choices of life and 
 death play out every day.” —Publishers Weekly \nEdwidge Danticat was 
 born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and moved to the United States when she was 
 twelve. She is the author of many books, including Breath, Eyes, Memory, an 
 Oprah Book Club selection; Krik? Krak!, a National Book Award finalist; and 
 The Farming of Bones, an American Book Award winner, and the New York 
 Times’ bestsellers The Dew Breaker and Brother, I’m Dying, She is also 
 the editor of The Butterfly's Way: Voices from the Haitian Dyaspora in the 
 United States and The Beacon Best of 2000: Great Writing by Men and Women 
 of All Colors and Cultures.\n\nDanticat earned a degree in French 
 Literature from Barnard College, where she won the 1995 Woman of 
 Achievement Award, and later an MFA from Brown University.  She has taught 
 creative writing at New York University and the University of Miami.  She 
 has worked with filmmakers Patricia Benoit and Jonathan Demme on projects 
 on Haitian art and documentaries about Haiti. Her short stories have 
 appeared in more than 25 periodicals and have been anthologized several 
 times.  Her work has been translated into numerous languages, including 
 French, German, Italian, Korean, Spanish and Swedish. She lives in Miami 
 with her husband and daughters, and remains a strong advocate for issues 
 affecting Haitians abroad and at home.  She lent her voice and words to
