A celebration and evocation of the brief beauty of a northern summer season, Summer Gone is also a haunting novel of layered experience, life, death, love experienced and love remembered through the eyes of a young boy as he grows into a wiser–and more haunted–man . . .
Graced by a spare beauty of language and a deeply humane intelligence and wit, Summer Gone flickers with fleeting passions and sudden tragedies, offering an elegy not only for the ephemeral beauty of northern summers but for an entire era.
"An homage to our most excruciating and beautiful memories, Summer Gone is a novel that merges fiction and truth, past and present, memory and action, into one dangerous and beautiful current." -- The Calgary Herald
