Longlisted for the 2014 Frank O'Connor Award and the 2014 Giller Prize "Moody, shape-shifting, provocative and always as compelling as a strong light at the end of a road you hesitate to walk down...but will."-Amy Bloom "Tight, strange, nifty stories."-Margaret Atwood The rubble of an ancient civilization.

Kathy Page is a massive talent: wise, smart, very funny and very humane."-Barbara Gowdy
