When fifteen-year-old Del Parsons' parents rob a North Dakota
bank, his normal life is altered forever, and a threshold is
crossed that can never be uncrossed. His parents' imprisonment
threatens a turbulent and uncertain future for Del and his twin
sister, Berner. Fierce with resentment, Berner flees their Montana
home for California. But Del is not completely abandoned. A family
friend spirits him across the Canadian border toward safety and a
better life. There, afloat on the Saskatchewan prairie, Del finds
only cold refuge from Arthur Remlinger, an enigmatic and alluring
American fugitive with a dark and violent past.
Undone by the calamity of his parents' robbery, Del struggles to
remake himself. But his search for grace only moves him nearer to a
harrowing and murderous collision with the forces of darkness that
shadow us all.
A true masterwork of haunting and spectacular vision from one of
our greatest writers, Canada is a profound novel of boundaries
traversed, innocence lost and reconciled, and the mysterious and
consoling bonds of family. Told in spare, elegant prose, both
resonant and luminous, it is destined to become a classic.
