Surfacing

Part detective novel, part psychological thriller, Surfacing is the story of a talented artist who goes in search of her missing father on a remote island in northern Quebec. Setting out with her lover and another young couple, she soon finds herself captivated by the isolated setting, where a marriage begins to fall apart, violence and death lurk just beneath the surface and sex becomes a catalyst for conflict and dangerous choices.

Surfacing is a work permeated with an aura of suspense, complex with layered meanings and written in brilliant, diamond-sharp prose. Here is a rich mine of ideas from an extraordinary writer – about contemporary life, nature, families, marriage and about women fragmented ... and becoming whole.

Ideal for readers interested in modern & contemporary.
