Description
Set on a remote island in northern Quebec, Surfacing is a haunting and introspective novel about a young woman's return to her childhood home. She is accompanied by her lover and two friends, but it is not the people she has come to find, but rather her own past.
The island, with its elemental forces and wild beauty, holds a powerful hold on the protagonist, forcing her to confront the memories and emotions she has been trying to escape. As she delves deeper into the mystery of her father's disappearance, she begins to uncover secrets about her own history and the true nature of her connection to the island.
This powerful and evocative novel explores the complexities of identity, memory, and the human relationship with the natural world. With its lyrical prose and nuanced characterization, Surfacing is a deeply unsettling and thought-provoking read.
