Produktbeschreibung

The Setting Lake Sun, J.R. Leveille's first novel set in his native Manitoba, describes the unforgettable encounter of Angele, an aspiring young Metis architect, with Ueno Takami, an older Japanese poet. The story begins when they meet at an art gallery in Winnipeg, a city surprisingly rich both physically, in its architecture, and culturally, with its mix of heritage and customs brought by people who have emigrated there from all over the world. From Winnipeg Angele and Ueno head north through the wilds to Thompson. Narrated by Angele, who is remembering her feelings of excitement, surprise and wonder at the discoveries inspired by the Japanese artist, The Setting Lake Sun is as much a love story as a spiritual journey, a celebration of life in all its incompleteness, imperfection, and impermanence.
