À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Harriet is eleven, going on thirty. Her mixed media paintings are a source of wonder to her younger brother, Irwin, but an unmitigated horror to the panoply of insufficiently grown up grown-ups who surround her. She plans to run away to Algonquin Park, hole up in a cabin like Tom Thomson andpaint trees; and so, to fund her escape, she runs errands for the seniors who inhabit the Shangrila, the decrepit apartment building that houses her fractured family. Determined, resourceful, and a little reckless, Harriet tries to navigate the clueless adults around her, dumpster dives for the flotsam and jetsam that fuels her art, and hopes to fathom her complicated feelings for Irwin who suffers from hydrocephalus. On the other hand, Irwin s love for Harriet is not conflicted at all. She s his compass. But when fateintervenes, it s Irwin who must untangle the web of the human heart. Masterful and mordantly funny, Strube is at the top of her considerable form in this deliciously subversive story of love and redemption."

Reviews

"Strube captures a madcap sense of momentum and consequence that never falters or overwhelms. Each character is part of Strube's deliberately constructed card tower, the building of which, as readers anticipate its eventual fall, provides the narrative with a tremendous amount of strength and personality." -- Publishers Weekly , starred "A masterful blend of comedy and tragedy . . . The tapestry of humanity that Strube presents is richly detailed and profoundly moving." -- Quill & Quire , starred "Strube is the dark horse favourite to succeed Alice Munro as a chronicler of melancholy stories about teen girls." -- Toronto Life "I fell in love with Harriet from the first chapter. She has the most unique way of looking at the world and the book is nearly laugh-out-loud funny at parts, but in the most morbid of ways. I was so moved by Harriet's story and, even as my heart was breaking, I was so delighted to get to 'meet' her brother Irwin. This is a must read for me this year." -- Insomniac Bibliophile "Fantastic." -- The Lost Bookmark "This is one of the BEST books I have read in a very long time. . . This is one of those rare books that works much humour and lightheartedness into some really heavy subject matter in a completely appropriate and realistic way. Bravo, Cordelia Strube!" -- Lit. Wit. Wine & Dine. "Dark, funny, crushingly sad, and breathtakingly hopeful." -- Becca in Halifax "In some parts it's funny, other parts poetic, others tragic. All of it very realistic." -- A Novel Haul "The novel turns, subtly and heartbreakingly, on questions of hardship, parenting, love, and resilience. I was not prepared for how hard this book would hit me. . . This book is one of the most human stories I've ever read." -- A Bookish Type, "Strube captures a madcap sense of momentum and consequence that never falters or overwhelms. Each character is part of Strube's deliberately constructed card tower, the building of which, as readers anticipate its eventual fall, provides the narrative with a tremendous amount of strength and personality." -- Publishers Weekly , starred "Quietly elegiac and despairing, the novel keeps true to Strube's singular vision." -- Maclean's "Strube's true talent, which was as readily on display in her last novel, 2012's Milosz, is for layering characters and situations and subplots on top of each other, one by one, until the entire Shangrila apartment building buzzes like a beehive." -- Globe and Mail "Strube creates an entire world of love and loss, humour and heartbreak . . . The writing, on a line-by-line basis, serves as a reminder that Strube is one of Canada's more expressive and creative prose stylists. It is, at heart, a uniquely intimate exploration of the perilous fragility of the human body, and the indomitable strength of the human soul." -- Toronto Star "Strube is the dark horse favourite to succeed Alice Munro as a chronicler of melancholy stories about teen girls." -- Toronto Life "A masterful blend of comedy and tragedy . . . The tapestry of humanity that Strube presents is richly detailed and profoundly moving." -- Quill & Quire , starred "Touching and cynical, deeply sad and very funny, On the Shores of Darkness, There Is Light is the work of an author in full command of her art. If On the Shores is not on awards shortlists this fall, it will be both a surprise and a grievous error." -- Beach Metro Community News "I fell in love with Harriet from the first chapter. She has the most unique way of looking at the world and the book is nearly laugh-out-loud funny at parts, but in the most morbid of ways.

This book is one of the most human stories I've ever read." -- A Bookish Type "Harriet, in On the Shores of Darkness There Is Light , is a many-splendored, singular creation, and the novel goes and goes and never falters." -- Pickle Me This "I would recommend On the Shores of Darkness, There Is Light to anyone who craves a good story full of emotion. . . I give this story a solid 4 out of 5 stars because I loved it and I know you will, too." -- Nimrod Street, "Strube captures a madcap sense of momentum and consequence that never falters or overwhelms.
