Set against a vived backdrop of a world at war, Burden of
Desire opens with a cataclysmic explosions that provides
the novel's extraordinary central metaphor. The blast and
its aftermath, which devastates Halifax, Nova Scotia, in
1917, rocks the lives of the three major characters, and
ensures that the world as they know it will never be the
same again.
Brilliantly blending suspense and
eroticism with rich historical detail, Robert MacNeil sets
the stage for one of the most provocative tales of desire
and obsession to be found in recent fiction. Magnificent in
scope, Burden of Desire is work of rare emotional
power in which acts of love and war come vividly and
sensually to life.
