Description
Deep in a Northern Ontario forest, two octogenarians live out their lives on their own terms. Free from ties and responsibilities, they rely on pot farmers for supplies. However, their solitude is disrupted by the arrival of two women: a photographer searching for survivors of catastrophic fires nearly a century earlier, and an elderly escapee from a psychiatric institution. The little hideaway in the woods will never be the same. Originally published in French, this novel explores themes of aging and self-determination with a haunting and beautifully grotesque tone. A poignant meditation on the human experience, it is a striking and unforgettable read.
