Description
Book SynopsisNot in Vain You've Sent Me Light begins with a provocative, sometimes humorous exposé of two lovers and their collisions and triumphs, and evolves into a high-voltage portrait gallery, depicting heroes and artists, scientists and politicians, mothers and their conflicted daughters. Cora Siré draws on a multi-dimensional palette to deepen her exploration of identity, displacement and the cosmic powers of love and art.
Trade ReviewSiré uses memory as a bridge to realization, and subtle humour as a path to truth rather than a way to allude it. Her words dig into the depths of people's identities - ourselves, lovers, family and friends, strangers - to discover how much we can only guess at or what we might never know even over the course of a lifetime. -- Montreal Review of Books
