—Sean Michaels,Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning author of Us Conductors

“A delicately wrought, heartfelt novel about the injuries we carry in mind and body, and the power of art to heal us all.
Katrina Onstad, author of Everybody Has Everything

“Lear’s Shadow 
exudes warmth—for Montreal and its theatre scene brought to vibrant life on the page.”
