n The Lion's Mouth, an Italian-Canadian woman, Bianca, tells the
story of her beloved cousin, Marco, whose life is disintegrating
along with his city - Venice. Marco is her dark twin, her Italian
self. As she tries to make sense of her cousin's breakdown, she
describes her story and reflects on her immigrant and Canadian
experiences, coming to terms with her dual cultures. The novel is
multifaceted - a thriller, a study of social mores in Italy and
Canada, a portrait of Venice, a self-reflexive account - and yet
the whole is seamless, powerful, and elegant.
