Summary
Short stories that take place throughout Canada - northern Ontario, the Prairies, the West Coast, Stratford - and feature women and men drifting in and out of each other's orbits, pulled by forces they don't understand. In "Runaway," a woman… considers leaving her husband with the help of a neighbour, but the husband has other plans. In "Trespasses," a small town's women dream of escaping their lives only to find themselves in lives they never imagined. Some strong language. Booklist's Best of 2004. Winner of the 2004 Giller Prize. 2004.
