When a sailor named Muhidin, also an outsider, enters their lives, Ayaana finds something she has never had before: a father. But as Ayaana grows into adulthood, forces of nature and history begin to reshape her life and the island itself--from a taciturn visitor with a murky past to a sanctuary-seeking religious extremist, from dragonflies to a tsunami, from black-clad kidnappers to cultural emissaries from China. Ayaana ends up embarking on a dramatic ship's journey to the Far East, where she will discover friends and enemies; be seduced by the charming but unreliable scion of a powerful Turkish business family; reclaim her devotion to the sea; and come to find her own tenuous place amid a landscape of beauty and violence and surprising joy. Told with a glorious lyricism and an unerring sense of compassion,  The Dragonfly Sea  is a transcendent story of adventure, fraught choices, and of the inexorable need for shelter in a dangerous world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67938085568548,"sku":"YSL41708","price":6.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/911-C_OZWIL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793281044","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b07dt5jhhc","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
