"Alice Petersen writes as eloquently about the natural world as she does about the world of human emotion and desire."David Bezmozgis, author ofThe Free World

These lyric, open-eyed stories are set in North America, England, and the author’s native New Zealand. With a focus on marriage, family, and the moral complexities that arise from these relationships, Alice Peterson’s fiction evokes the best of Katherine Mansfield and Alice Munro.

Alice Petersen’s first book, All the Voices Cry, won the QWF Award for Best First Book. Born in New Zealand, she now lives and works in Montreal, Quebec.
