by Maylis De Kerangal (Author)

In Canoes seven stories orbit a central novella, creating a collection that resonates with the vibrations and frequencies of women's voices. Daughters, friends, sisters, young and old, talkative or daydreaming - in this moving and poetic collection, Maylis de Kerangal casts light on them all, exploring human entwinement and the precarious balance between life and death.
