Heaven's Edge

Following the Booker-nominated Reef and the acclaimed book The Sandglass, Romesh Gunesekera's third novel, Heaven's Edge, is a spellbinding modern odyssey written with terrific emotional force. In search of a dream, Marc leaves London for the land of his patrimony and family secrets--an island once said to be near the edge of heaven but now despoiled by war. After his affair with a subversive "eco-warrior" named Uva is cut short when she disappears, Marc must search for her among the mystical land's underground dens of iniquity and ghostly colonial mansions. In the midst of gun battles and foot races, can Marc achieve a happiness he would defend with his life?
