Autor Megan Wykes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mai 2023
In the blistering summer of 1971, four strangers take a chance on a new psychological treatment. What seems like a good idea quickly spirals out of control as the four connect outside the sessions in unexpected and catastrophic ways, each locked into an escalating crisis. Widow Beata is ensnared in a parallel life thatbs increasingly out of step with reality. Deeply closeted Simon is tormented at work at the same time as he develops feelings for a neighbour. Tightly wound Claire struggles to keep her head above water and avoid a repeat psych admission. Drop-out Paul, with a ham-fisted propensity to blur professional lines, runs the sessions b his own life in perilous freefall. Funny and heart-breaking, Back to the Garden is a love letter to Toronto at a pivotal point in its coming of age b the folk scene in full throttle, disenchantment over Vietnam brewing and social forces pressing for change.

Recenzii

"Fresh, engaging, powerful and genuine." -- Rebecca Silver Slayter, author of In the Land of Birdfishes
"Moving Upstream personifies how Ojibwe ways of knowing continue to persevere, nurturing the individual identities of each generation alongside colonial infrastructures now sharing the water." -- Scott Mainprize

Descriere

Set in Toronto in the blistering summer of 1971, Back to the Garden is about four strangers who take a chance on a new psychological treatment: group therapy. What seems, at first, like a good idea, quickly spirals out of control as the participants connect outside of the sessions in unforeseen and catastrophic ways, each character locked into an escalating crisis.

Funny and heart-breaking, Back to the Garden is a love letter to Toronto at a pivotal point in the City's coming of age - when the folk scene was in full throttle, disenchantment over Vietnam was gathering momentum, the authority of the psychiatric establishment was called into question and social forces were pressing for a more inclusive society. The novel's themes of human rights, bullying and mental illness make it increasingly relevant.
