The Veins of the Ocean

The Veins of the Ocean

Author:

Marines listed this as one of her favorites on episode 147 of WSIRN. Reina Castillo has spent the last few years revolving her life around visiting her older brother in prison. She spends a lot of time thinking about him and the impact of what sent him to prison. When her brother dies suddenly while in prison, she's released from the cycle. She picks up her life and she moves to the Florida Keys on a whim. There she encounters a community and goes on a journey of coming to terms with what her brother did, her role in what he did, and finding out what her life is going to be from now on. Marines says Patricia Engel is a brilliant writer and The Veins of the Ocean is beautifully written, dealing heavily with the ocean as symbol for healing.
