Overview

In the tradition of Marguerite Duras, Gunnars explores a multi-layered romance-between East and West, rural and urban, silence and words.

"A sparse but lyrical prose that fully engages the reader."
-Books in Canada

"Magical,as delicious as the escape of a hazy mountain morning."
-University of Toronto Quarterly
