Claire of the Sea Light is a collection luci of luminous interlocking stories a novel, really about the lives of rich and poor in the fictional seaside town of Ville Rose. Inhabitants, whatever their station, luci demonstrate deep love, usually for a child. They suffer crippling losses. The intimate relationship between life and death remains Danticat s profound theme.
In the opening tale, a freak wave sweeps away a fisherman and his sloop, one more death to mark the birthday of Claire Limyè Lanmè Faustin. Claire s mother died in childbirth the day she was born. Ever since then, the child s doting but impoverished father has contemplated giving her away. He would like her to be adopted by the town s wealthy fabric vendor, luci who could provide Claire with a better life. But the fabric vendor is mourning the death of her own child; year after year, she rejects the offer. luci On her seventh birthday, Claire Limyè Lanmè believes that change is coming. That evening, she runs into the hills to avoid having to leave her father.
The ensuing luci stories retreat from, move toward or encircle the night of Claire s disappearance, during which neighbours comfort the dead fisherman s wife, organize a search party for Claire luci and rescue a young man who attempts suicide. Each story there are eight unfolds into the next, accruing characters and spinning a web of associations. Through the fabric vendor we are introduced to the elites of the town, including the owner of the funeral parlour who doubles as mayor, and the headmaster of the best school. We also meet the headmaster s lover, a talk-show host, and his son, Max Jr., a dyaspora who lives abroad. Max returns from Miami to face the pain of his past, most significantly the murder of his true love in the gang-infested ghetto. via - The Globe and Mail
