The stories of The Lost Salt Gift of Blood are remarkably simple – a family is drawn together by shared and separate losses, a child’s reality conflicts with his parents’ memories, a young man struggles to come to terms with the loss of his father.
Yet each piece of writing in this critically acclaimed collection is infused with a powerful life of its own, a precision of language and a scrupulous fidelity to the reality of time and place, of sea and Maritime farm.
Focusing on the complexities and abiding mysteries at the heart of human relationships, the seven stories of The Lost Salt Gift of Blood map the close bonds and impassable chasms that lie between man and woman, parent and child.

评分海鸥是世上我见过最白的东西,白过家里的床单,白过那只粉红色眼睛、已经死去的兔子和冬天的第一场雪。 奶奶身上有肥皂水和热面包卷的味道。她问我喜不喜欢住在蒙特利尔。我从来没在其他地方住过,只好说我觉得还行。 爷爷身上则有肥皂水、烟草和皮革的味道。他问我火车上有没...
