Fiction. A crackling debut novel that starts with a fire and never stops smouldering. Grand in scope, spare in execution, and lush in language, 26 KNOTS is a fable-like tale of love, obsession, and everything in between.
Araceli and Adrien are two journalists who meet while covering a fire. From that moment, she is unable to forget him. Adrien then falls in love with Pénélope, who, in turn, is torn between him and Gabriel. Gabriel reciprocates her love, but is too tormented by his past, and by the search for his lost father, to be much of a husband or father himself. Centred in Montreal and spiralling out across Ontario, these are interlocking love stories that deftly reveal the devastating consequences of betrayal and commitment, of grief and hope.
