| Title : | On Such A Full Sea | | Material Type: | printed text | | Authors: | Chang-Rae Lee, Author | | Publisher: | New York : Little, Brown and Co. | | Publication Date: | 2014 | | Pagination: | 352 p. | | Size: | 24 cm | | ISBN (or other code): | 978-1-4087-0547-6 | | Class number: | 813.54 | | Abstract: | In a future, long-declining America, society is strictly stratified by class. Long-abandoned urban neighborhoods have been repurposed as highwalled, self-contained labor colonies. And the members of the labor class - descendants of those brought over en masse many years earlier from environmentally ruined provincial China - find purpose and identity in their work to provide pristine produce and fish to the small, elite, satellite charter villages that ring the labor settlement.
In this world lives Fan, a female fish-tank diver, who leaves her home in the B-Mor settlement (once known as Baltimore), when the man she loves mysteriously disappears. Fan's journey to find him takes her out of the safety of B-Mor, through the anarchic Open Counties, where crime is rampant with scant governmental oversight, and to a faraway charter village, in a quest that will soon become legend to those she left behind. |
