Thank you, CANADA!
Congratulations! Heartfelt congratulations also on the 2-book deal, that’s fantastic!!! So proud of you! 🙂
So glad I stumbled upon your book. I feasted on it like a literary glutton who had gone without for too long. I slurped up the prose and let the imagery rattle around in my imagination and spark up images of my history.
Another delight of this novel? It is the first time that I have read a book that portrays how I feel about my own relationship/love for my father- that precious connection that is visceral as it is vital to who I shaped up to be today.
