Summary

In this sweeping, allusive novel, the celebrated poet, dervish, and oral storyteller Tawhida Tanya Evanson comes to terms with what it means to stand on oneโ€™s own two feet in an uncertain world. The acclaimed Antiguan-Canadian artist traces a global journey from Vancouver to the United States, Caribbean, Paris, and Morocco as a relationship with her lover and travel partner disintegrates and she finds herself on a path toward personal discovery and spiritual fulfillment that leads her deep into the North African landscape.


Bespeak Audio Editions brings Canadian voices to the world with audiobook editions of some of the countryโ€™s greatest works of literature, performed by Canadian actors.

Reviews

โ€œTawhida Tanya Evansonโ€™s first novel is a stunning testament to how the grief of heartbreak can bring us back to who we are.โ€ โ€” Sheniz Janmohamed, Quill & Quire

โ€œEvanson is a seasoned poet, spoken word performer, and oral storyteller, and her craft is evident in this first work of prose fiction.โ€ โ€” Helen Chau Bradley, Montreal Review of Books

โ€œAs the protagonist runs away from her broken heart and tries to leave her memories behind her, Evanson crafts a relatable experience that has the reader reflect on themselves and consider their own personal journeys, wherever they may be going.โ€ โ€” Alina Faulds, Canthius
