Overview
A startling new work of ten fictions, each a revelation of our interior lives. In the title story an earthquake exposes both an ocean bed strewn with treasures among the dead, and the avarice of the survivors. In 'The Diamond Mine' a woman remembers her first passionately erotic experience, hidden, in the company of her parents, with a soldier who may or may not be alive to remember her. 'Mission Statement' is the ironically told story of a Development Agency official's idealism, the ghosts of colonial history, and a love affair with a government minister that ends astoundingly - for her.
