About this audiobook
Editor's Note
Provocative prose…
The nameless narrator of Yiwei’s novel is a middle-aged Chinese man living in Montreal who’s contemplating what he’s gained and lost through immigration. He meets the titular Celia and Misoka at the ice rink on top of Mount Royal, a chance encounter that feels full of meaning and hope for these three “grains of sand” brought together by the “winds of globalization.” Provocative prose keeps this meandering contemplation highly engaging.
