Description:
Montreal, QC: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2006. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; spine straight and uncreased; very light wear to inside corners; otherwise absolute minimal wear; This collection of thirteen fictional vignettes takes you inside Canada's refugees and those who decide their fates.
