The disastrous 1917 explosion of a munitions ship in Halifax Harbor, Nova Scotia, forms the backdrop to this "rich, abundantly humane love story" (Chicago Tribune)-"a powerful piece of work" (Washington Post Book World) that marks an "auspicious fiction debut for an already accomplished author and award-winning journalist" (Chicago Sun-Times).

Synopsis:
After the 1916 explosion that devastates Halifax, Nova Scotia, Peter Wentworth finds a diary among the rubble containing the confessions of a young woman and becomes obsessed with finding its owner.
From the Inside Flap:
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.
