About this product

Product Information

A father makes the fateful decision to leave a successful career in the US behind and move to an isolated beach in the Dominican Republic. He plants ten thousand coconut seedlings, transplants his wife and two young daughters to a small village, and declares they are the luckiest people alive. In reality, the family is in the path of hurricanes and in the grip of a brutal dictator, Rafael Trujillo--and the children are additionally under the thumb of an increasingly volatile and alcoholic father. Set against a backdrop of shimmering palms and kaleidoscope sunsets, The Coconut Latitudes is Rita Gardner's compelling memoir of a childhood in paradise, a journey into unexpected misery, and a twisted path to redemption and truth.

Reviews
"This is a the story of an American electrical engineer who moves his wife and two daughters to the Dominican Republic to live on a remote coconut plantation, off the grid and in his own growing alcoholic darkness. Rita Gardner's memoir is lush with detail as she becomes one of those watchful children upon whom nothing is lost." --Jane Vandenburgh, author of The Wrong Dog Dream: A True Romance, "Gardner has written a rich, haunting book that vividly captures her childhood and makes everyday turmoil vital through precise and honest prose." -Publishers Weekly, July 2014 "Another fine writer we can embrace as ours: an honorary Dominicana, who moves beyond borders into the wide open spaces of the heart." -Julia Alvarez, author of A Wedding in Haiti , Recipient, 2013 National Medal of Arts "Gardner's memoir is a detailed delight. A kind of 'island-mindedness' in her writing makes this a compelling read." -Alastair Reid, Correspondent for The New Yorker , author of Inside Out "In this riveting coming-of-age story, Gardner paints an exquisite portrait of her family's rupture in paradise." -Julia Scheeres, author of Jesus Land and A Thousand Lives
