Back Roads

By Andrée A. Michaud

In Scotiabank Giller Prize-longlisted author Andr e A. Michaud's genre-defying, ethereal mystery, a writer encounters her double and must grapple with an undetermined crime -- and her own identity.

In the dubious sanctuary of a wintry forest, a writer encounters a woman who she suspects may be her double. So begins a journey of inquiry in which nothing, not even the author's own identity, is certain. Who is Heather Thorne? Is she a stranger dangerously out of place in the woods, the victim of an accident or of a crime? Who is the author? Is her own name not in fact Heather Thorne?

Brimming with the snowy menace and mystery of the boreal woods, where nothing is ever entirely known, the celebrated and prize-winning Quebec noir novelist Andr e A. Michaud once again defies categorization in an ethereal story that is also a meditation on the very process of literary creation.
