In this sweep­ing, allu­sive nov­el, the cel­e­brat­ed poet, dervish, and oral sto­ry­teller Tawhi­da Tanya Evan­son comes to terms with what it means to stand on one’s own two feet in an uncer­tain world. The acclaimed Antiguan-Cana­di­an artist traces a glob­al jour­ney from Van­cou­ver to the Unit­ed States, Caribbean, Paris, and Moroc­co as a rela­tion­ship with her lover and trav­el part­ner dis­in­te­grates and she finds her­self on a path toward per­son­al dis­cov­ery and spir­i­tu­al ful­fill­ment that leads her deep into the North African landscape.
