Anthony De Sa's first novel, Barnacle Love, explores the pain and poetry of an immigrant's hopes with descriptions so rich they massage the senses .... [It] is a book of exceptional balance. It's tender and raw, morbid and surprisingly gentle. However, it is the palpable sadness of the Rebelo family that will stay with readers long after the closing pages., 'œA moving and engaging read, its memorable images and heart's woes sometimes visceral in their power.'�, 'oeA moving and engaging read, its memorable images and heart's woes sometimes visceral in their power.', A moving and engaging read, its memorable images and heart's woes sometimes visceral in their power., "These beautifully connected stories follow Manuel from Sao Miguel, one of the tiny islands in the Portuguese Azores, to Toronto where he goes to seek a better life for himself." -- The Boston Globe, "These beautifully connected stories follow Manuel from Sao Miguel, one of the tiny islands in the Portuguese Azores, to Toronto where he goes to seek a better life for himself." --The Boston Globe, This collection of linked short stories speaks poignantly about the wrenchingly opposing forces that can tear an immigrant family apart... , Unable either to fit in or stand out, [Manuel] is any immigrant, every immigrant, always reaching for a dream he cannot have, and never at home., "[A] moving and engaging read, its memorable images andheart's woes sometimes visceral in their power." , Barnacle Love is a magical work of fiction, a multi-generational tale of old and new worlds, of immigrant fathers and their bornin- Canada sons. Touching, illuminating, and sympathetic, it deserves to be on everyone's summer reading list.

Synopsis
"Immense emotional and truthful power."-- Colm T ib n, author of Nora Webster Anthony De Sa makes his fiction debut with this stunning collection of interlinked stories that explore the innocent dreams and bitter disappointments of the immigrant experience. Hailed as "tender and raw, morbid and surprisingly gentle" by the Vancouver Sun , Barnacle Love was a finalist for Canada's highly prestigious Giller Prize. Moving from a small Portuguese fishing village in the Azores to the shores of Newfoundland, Barnacle Love then takes us into the dark alleys of Toronto's Portuguese community in the 1970s. The first half of the book is told by Manuel Rebelo, who has fled his homeland--and the crushing weight of his mother's expectations--to build a future for himself in a new land. Manuel struggles hard to adjust, but fulfilling the promise of his adopted home is not as simple as he had hoped. The second half of the book is told with candor by Manuel's son Antonio, who--along with his sister and mother--lives in the shadows cast by Manuel's failures. With fantastic, sometimes magical details and passionate empathy, Anthony De Sa invites readers into the lives of the Rebelo family. The results are, in the words of writer Nino Ricci, "haunting and elegiac.", "Immense emotional and truthful power."-- Colm Tóibín, author of Nora Webster Anthony De Sa makes his fiction debut with this stunning collection of interlinked stories that explore the innocent dreams and bitter disappointments of the immigrant experience.
