Description
THE GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOKS OF 2021
CBC BOOKS THE BEST CANADIAN FICTION OF 2021
A fresh take on the romance novel from the Giller Prizewinning author of Fifteen Dogs.
From their first meeting, it was clear that Gwen and Tancred were meant to be together. But, as we know, the course of true love never did run smooth.
Gwen's mother, intuiting that her daughter is in love, gives her a magic ring that has been passed down through endless generations of mothers and daughters. This ring grants its wearer the opportunity to change three things about her beloved. Like all blessings, this may also be a curse.
Ring turns the literary romance upside down and shakes out its pockets. It's a playful meditation on the past, on magic, on race, on honour, on faith, and, yes, on love.
Following on the heels of Pastoral, Fifteen Dogs, The Hidden Keys, and Days by Moonlight, Ring completes Alexis's Quincunx, a group of five genre-bending, philosophically sophisticated, and utterly delightful novels.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Ring by André Alexis is acclaimed for its witty and thought-provoking exploration of themes like love, marriage, and fidelity, contrasted with a mystical element. Critics appreciate its distinctive style and the way it poses complex questions rather than providing straightforward answers. The novel is praised for its engaging narrative and the enchanting, transformative qualities attributed to love.
