WINNER OF THE SCOTIABANK GILLER PRIZE. 'Spellbinding' i. 'Breathtaking' Elle. 'Powerhouses of feeling and depth' Mary Gaitskill. 'Sharp and vital' Daisy Johnson. 'Excellent' Margaret Atwood on Twitter. An ex-boxer turned nail salon worker falls for a pair of immaculate hands; a mother and daughter harvest earthworms in the middle of the night; a country music-obsessed housewife abandons her family for fantasy; and a young girl's love for her father transcends language. In this stunning debut, Souvankham Thammavongsa captures the day-to-day lives of immigrants and refugees in a nameless city, illuminating hopes, disappointments, love affairs, and above all, the pursuit of a place to belong. 'There is not a moment off in these affecting stories' Sheila Heti.
