A northern gothic tale about resilience and belonging.
In a boom town dominated by a man-eating lake, Renee and Danny Chance start a new life in his grandfather’s cabin. Renee struggles to keep her head above water until she is drawn into the orbit of two beautifully notorious bar-singer cousins, and all three women are called to test the bonds of blood and loyalty. A polyphonic fable riddled with tall tales, Glory explores what it means to be a woman in north-central BC by flooding the shores of the human heart.
“Stunning, raw prose and a fierce narrative that is irresistibly readable.”—The Malahat Review
«Sensitive, taut, and observant, each voice in Wigmore’s complex tapestry brings this small town brilliantly to life.»—Eden Robinson
«A great novella is a work of alchemy, and that's what we're treated to in Glory… The women in your life need this book, maybe almost as much as the men do. Buy it for them.»—Book Addiction
