“An intricate, beautiful, and melancholy story about the mysteries of memory, art, loneliness, and connection. There’s so much gorgeous language here, and a deeply felt evocation of place. Reading it, I felt that I was on Toronto Island myself, remembering it in my own bones.”

–Alix Ohlin, author of Dual Citizens

Portrait of a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a black sweater, resting his chin on his folded hands, with a light gray background.
