An absolute classic, Reef is a luminous coming-of-age novel. But beyond Mister Salgado’s house and their Sri Lankan village, there is a world falling apart, and it is in this world that Triton must become a man. Even the sun would rise from the garage and sleep behind the del tree at night. People from all over the world came here-to sell their wares, to talk, to live for this was where life took place. It was the biggest house he had ever seen. At the age of eleven, Triton goes to work as a houseboy to Mister Salgado, a marine biologist obsessed with the island’s disappearing reef.
