Literary fiction at its best from a master Canadian writer at the top of her craft. I didn't know much about the life of Henry David Thoreau and Helen Humphreys was able to capture its essence in these little snapshot vingettes in the most affecting way! An entertaining, quick read sure to leave you thinking long after you finish. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review! I especially loved the bird artwork in the print copy of the book!

Delighted to include this title in the February edition of Novel Encounters, my column highlighting the month’s most anticipated fiction for the Books section of Zoomer, Canada’s national culture magazine. (see column and mini-review at link)
