Entry updated 13 May 2024. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) Canadian academic and author whose first novel, The Other Valley (2024), is shaped around what might be called a geography of Time Travel: the tale is set in three valleys, one twenty years before and one twenty years after the seemingly contemporary central valley or Zone. A governing body known as the Conseil attempts to manage the temporal dynamics created (see Time Police), with only partial success, particularly as the protagonist is a teenager gripped by very powerful emotions: a turmoil of loss and hope. As time passes, however, the tale advances from Young Adult concerns. [JC]
