The Game of Love and Death
He could have taken any form, really: a sparrow, a snowy owl, even a common housefly. Although he often traveled the world on wings, for this work he always preferred a human guise. Flora Suadade had to drop out of school to take care of her grandmother, her caregiver since she lost her parents to a car crash. Love chooses Henry, and Death chooses Flora. For all that the premise sounds a bit like your standard YA paranormal-ish romance, The Game of Love and Death by Martha Brockenbrough is a richly situated, historic magical realist examination of race and class and the meaning of love in our finite pieces of time on this earth.
Everything you love will crumble to ruin. This is the price of life. This is the price of love. It is the only ending for every true story. Two eternal opposing forces have faced off thousands of times across the millennia, each choosing a player to represent them in the Game. Yet they continue to play.
