about Unraveling Arva
This is a superb first novel from an exciting new Canadian talent. Lundrigan takes on one of the most difficult tasks in fiction: She creates a mystery out of the psychology of a single character.
A blend of magic realism and spot-on vernacular.
Nicole Lundrigan is a natural storyteller in the tradition of Donna Morrissey.
