If I tried to explain this story – it would sound wild and incoherent. This was an amazing work of historic fiction encompassing so many of the problems and beauties in Canadian multiculturalism – especially near the Toronto 30s era. It was splendidly engrossing with complex and memorable characters. It is the multiplicity of layers of topics broached juxtaposed with the fluidity of narrative is what makes this work jaw dropping. I could not stop thinking about this even after a week of reading it.
“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.”
“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
