He Drown She in the Sea by Shani Mootoo [in AsianWeek]
This one is just delicious – and delightfully plotted as to how it plays with time and place and people. The beginning: a man, a woman, her husband, her daughter. Fast backward to the man and woman and their intertwined childhoods until the woman’s father unjustly banishes the then-boy. Thankfully in the end – in this case, the middle, as well – true love triumphs.
