Intricately patterned and multi-layered, this is the story of Sevigne Torrins, poet and boxer, who sets off into the world to make it, and whose romantic and professional misadventures take him as far as Egypt before he finds his way back to the Great Lakes. But the classic writerly dream that Sevigne pursues turns out in practice to have a different and darker reality than any he had foreseen. Haunting and splendidly evocative, this is a passionate love story about the power of dreams and regret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eSTEVEN HEIGHTON was the author of the novel \u003ci\u003eAfterlands\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e Editors’ Choice along with a best book of the year selection in ten publications in Canada, the US, and the UK; and has been optioned for film.
