Reina Castillo’s beloved brother is serving a death sentence for a crime that shocked the community – a crime for which Reina secretly blames herself. When she is at last released from her seven-year prison vigil, Reina moves to a sleepy town in the Florida Keys seeking anonymity.There, she meets Nesto, a recently exiled Cuban awaiting with hope the arrival of the children he left behind in Havana. Through Nesto’s love of the sea and capacity for faith, Reina comes to understand her own connections to the life-giving and destructive forces of the ocean that surrounds her as well as its role in her family’s troubled history. Set in the vibrant coastal and Caribbean communities of Miami; the Florida Keys; Havana, Cuba; and Cartagena, Colombia, The Veins of the Ocean is a wrenching exploration of what happens when life tests the limits of compassion, and a stunning and unforgettable portrait of fractured lives finding solace in the beauty and power of the natural world, and in one another.

«Τον παρατηρώ τυλιγμένο στο σάβανο της νύχτας, μιας νύχτας τόσο μελανής που μοιάζει μ’ εκείνη που μας καταπίνει όταν βγαίνουμε στον ωκεανό. Πρέπει να νιώθει το βλέμμα μου γιατί, χωρίς να ξυπνήσει, απλώνει το χέρι του, με τραβάει κοντά του και πλάθω το σώμα μου στο σχήμα του δικού του, τον φιλάω ώσπου να με φιλήσει κι εκείνος, και ξαναμαθαίνω το μάθημα που μ’ έχει διδάξει κάθε κοινή μας νύχτα: ότι θα βρω στο σώμα του —κι όχι στις λέξεις του— τις απαντήσεις σε όλα μου τα ερωτήματα.»
