Congratulations to Dawn Promislow, whose debut novel, Wan, was shortlisted for the Canadian Authors Association’s Fred Kerner Book Award.
From the judges: “A story that worked its way under my skin. I could not put it down. A brooding tale of one white family in South Africa during apartheid. A gentle story, with an undeniable undercurrent of impending violence, leading to betrayal and self-examination. Beautifully written. Excellent work.”
