From the pen of a multiple award-winning author comes this collection of stories about love, loss, religion, murder, memory, and mystery. In "Midnight Shift", a pair of doctors seeking intimacy instead discover a dying patient eager to divulge an ancient crime. In "A Memory of Flowers and Coconut", we are cast back to 1940s South America to witness an unfolding rural tragedy. In "New", the mystery of a sick child reveals the fabric of Creation itself. In "The Emerald in the Diamond", a robbery in the Mongolian desert somehow makes its way to a baseball stadium in Missouri. These and eight other stories will entertain, evoke, and inspire. Raywat Deonandan' first collection of short stories, Sweet Like Saltwater , won the Guyana Prize for Literature (the national book award of Guyana) in the Best First Work category. Here are some samples of reviews of his fiction "The imagery is often quite wonderful, capturing sights, sounds, smell, touch, very well." -Linda Field, Arsenal Pulp Press "Through... brilliant characterization and dialogue, the reader is engaged in continuous storying." -Anne Forsythe-Moore, Canadian Author Magazine "Quirky and engaging." -Jim Bartley, The Globe and Mail "Deonandan celebrates the dignity of the common people." -Barbara Mujica, Americas Magazine
