The first collection of short stories from award-winning author Tim Bowling, exploring childhood, work, and aging. Set on the west coast of British Columbia and in Edmonton, the fifteen stories in this collection focus on moments of transformation: between parents and their children, between men and women, between humans and the natural world. In this collection that's every bit as thoughtful and masterful as his past work, Tim Bowling explores the passing of time and the (sometimes desperate) desire for meaning to return, with depth and flashes of humour. Praise for Tim Bowling "Bowling's command of language is effortlessly beautiful; part of the brilliance . . . is in the way it prompts you to consider your own engagement as a reader." - Quill and Quire "[A] powerful, haunting evocation of friendship and cruelty, of grace and inhumanity, of violence and beauty." - Globe and Mail The first collection of short stories from award-winning author Tim Bowling, exploring childhood, work, and aging.
