'The funniest, most immersive book I have read in a long time . . . Truly original, brimming with humour, beauty, heartbreak, magic and sharp language that will strike you deep down in your soul' - Danez Smith
'An unprecedented page-turner . . . keenness, kindness, associative brilliance, storytelling authority, and crow-black humour make every line of this utterly singular novel a surprise and a delight . . . Canon filled me with overwhelming joy, joy that such an extraordinary story exists' - Karen Russell
This is a story of two prophets.
Yara has been chosen by God to slay Dominic, the ruthless leader of the army of Bad Guys. Cast out by their family and reeling from a destructive relationship, Yara has never felt weaker; but with nothing to lose, they reluctantly strike a deal. Abandoning their quiet days of embroidery and obsessive cleaning, Yara embarks on a perilous odyssey designed to prepare them for the daunting mission ahead.
Meanwhile Adrena, a disillusioned prophet with a terrifying secret power, is determined to become the hero of this story. Feeling snubbed, and desperate to win back the glory of God's approval and the promise of heaven, Adrena must first persuade Harpo - the leader of the Good Guys - that her plan is God's will.
Their parallel journeys unfold in a series of unforgettable adventures as they encounter incredible characters, and confront the transformative revelations of love, death and destiny. Funny, clever, sacred and subversive, Canon is an intensely captivating, irreverent epic from a singularly brilliant new voice in fiction.

Recenzii
I promise that you have never read a book like Canon. It's a scorchingly brilliant, wildly funny, and deeply moving epic. I loved it so much that upon finishing Canon, I immediately began rereading it
The funniest, most immersive book I have read in such a long time . . . Truly original, brimming with humour, beauty, heartbreak, magic, and sharp language that will strike you deep down in your soul. Lewis has taken the hero's journey and breathed new life, new wit, and new possibility into the genre and just like the best epics, you will make away bewildered by the prose but maybe have learned something necessary about living. In my house this is an instant classic
I wish I could spend a thousand more pages with the narrator of Canon, whose keenness, kindness, associative brilliance, storytelling authority, and crow-black humour make every line of this utterly singular novel a surprise and a delight. Lewis excels at translating the unspeakable dimensions of our living into language . . . [An] unprecedented page turner [e]ven at its most painful moments, Canon filled me with overwhelming joy . . . I have never read a novel like CANON - no one has
