“Blue Hours is both exquisitely written and engrossing, a painfully intimate story of a father grieving his partner, and the ways, like photographers crafting images, we both “make” and “take” the people in our closest relationships. With prose that’s both heady and plainspoken, Alison Acheson casts a spell on her readers,”— Kevin Chong, author of The Double Life of Benson Yu.
Alison Acheson lives in Strathcona, Vancouver. She has published works for all ages, and Blue Hours is her twelfth book. She taught in the Creative Writing School at the University of British Columbia, and now pens a Substack newsletter, The Unschool for Writers.
