NATIONAL BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE 2024 DAYNE OGILVIE PRIZE FOR LGBTQ2S+ EMERGING WRITERS • One of Indigo''s Top 10 Literary Fiction Books of 2024 and Top 100 Books of 2024;• One of CBC''s Best Canadian Fiction of 2024 A singular, stunning debut that transcends and transfigures genre--at once a bold retelling of biblical tales and an unforgettable contemporary coming-of-age story, connected in collapsing time across millennia. There are few love stories in the holy books. Love is what ruins. Love is what costs. Love is a flaming sword at our backs, a garden left to ruin and to wild. In Sacred, profane, and rich with explicit desire and a poetic attention to form, Seamlessly blending fiction, memoir, and verse in the exhilarating tradition of Anne Carson and Madeline Miller, <Dayspring< is an immersive, mesmerizing work, one that wrenches beauty from cataclysm and finds bliss in apocalypse.
