'Written in prose of beautiful lucidity...a tender tale of loss and love' Sunday Times Harry
Cane has followed tradition at every step until an illicit affair forces him to abandon the
golden suburbs of Edwardian England and travel to the town of Winter in the newly colonised
Canadian prairies. There isolated in a beautiful but harsh landscape Harry embarks on an
extraordinary journey not only of physical hardship but also of acute self-discovery. 'Gale's
confident supple prose expresses the labour and hardship that toughen Harry's body as they
calm his mind...Harry Cane is one of many the disappeared who were not wanted by their
families or their societies and whose stories were long shrouded with shame. This fascinating
novel is their elegy' The Guardian 'Gale's novels are imbued with clear-eyed psychological
truths navigating the emotional landscape of characters it is impossible not to care about
deeply. Sensitive and compelling' Irish Times 'A mesmerising storyteller this novel is written
with intelligence and warmth' The Times Twitter @PNovelistGale www.tinderpress.co.uk
