Description

The interlocking worlds of the erotic and the sacred are explored in the novella and nine stories. These range from present-day Toronto to the nineteenth-century high Arctic, from the Greek Islands to Kathmandu, from a tunnel under Vimy Ridge in 1915 where a Canadian sentry hears his enemy singing through the wall, to a tourist town in the Rockies where a painter and her dying husband make love for the last time. Crisp unread copy, but with remainder mark, e;se fine.
