Description

Remski's first novel is a love story of bizarre proportions set in Toronto. It is told from the point of view of a man remembering his life growing up with his sister whom he is in love with. It paints an unhappy and twisted childhood which leads to an even more unhappy adulthood for the narrator. The novel is rich with dark secrets and the intricacies of Catholic mythology and its collision with and submersion by North American culture.
