Dragons Cry
by Tessa McWatt

A Governor General's Literary Award Nominee.

Dragons Cry is passionate, moving, and true. A story told in deceptively simple, often beautiful fragments becomes a yearning, complex, lyrical whole.” — Ronan Bennett

Over the course of the evening following the burial of his older brother, David, Simon and his partner, Faye, struggle to reconcile their pasts through the prism of the brother who brought them together, but who also drove them apart. A flood of memory — of childhoods in Canada and the Caribbean, of youthful hopes and adult choices — swirls about this haunting multi-layered novel about the shifting nature of love and belonging.

Reviews:

"Dragons Cry is a lyrical evocation of history and memories drawn from characters that move between places and cultures. McWatt explores a fractured family with sympathy and courage."
— The Governor General's Literary Awards Fiction Jury

"Tessa McWatt showed a ton of promise in her first novel, Out of My Skin, but nothing to prepare us for such an exquisite follow-up. Dragons Cry is complex, subtle, emotionally rich an dvery smart...This is a small-press book that deserves major attention."
— NOW Magazine

“A story told in deceptively simple, often beautifully turned fragments becomes a yearning, complex, lyrical whole. Dragons Cry is passionate, moving, and true.”
