"What Your Hands Have Done looks at how life spent in a close-knit fishing family in rural Prince Edward Island marks a person. The book is rooted in PEI but moves from there to Toronto where the malaise of life proves to be unbound to the sameness of small town days spent hauling gear on the Atlantic or toiling in rust-red potato fields. Dionne Brand described the work as a "sort of love letter" to the father character."--
