Om Sing, Nightingale
Literary Fantasy: This joins recent books such as Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James that are rooted in current issues (challenging male power, denunciation of sexual violence), but take place in a place and time more like a fairy tale.
French-Canadian Critical Darling: Marie-Hélène Poitras is already highly praised in French Canada, with outstanding reviews from Le Devoir, La Presse, Journal de Montreal, and many more.
A Rhonda Mullins Translation: Rhonda Mullins has translated many popular Coach House titles from French including Suzanne, And the Birds Rained Down, and The Laws of the Skies.
Weird shit going on in the woods: describes many Coach House translations; Sing, Nightingale may be the ne plus ultra of this list.
