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.

"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."
