Description:
<p><strong>Finalist, 2023 Trillium Book Award <br>
Finalist, Writers Union of Canada 2023 Daunta Gleed Literary Award</strong><br>
<strong>Finalist, 2023 ReLit Award for Short Fiction</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Twelve exquisitely written stories depicting the search for human connection and the attempt to fit in far from home.</strong></p>
<p><em>All the Shining People </em>explores migration, diaspora, and belonging within Toronto’s Jewish South African community, as individuals come to terms with the oppressive hierarchies that separate, and the connections that bind. Seeking a place to belong, the book’s characters — including a life-drawing model searching the streets for her lover; a woman confronting secrets from her past in the new South Africa; and a man grappling with the legacy of his father, a former political prisoner — crave authentic relationships that replicate the lost feeling of home. With its focus on family, culture, and identity, <em>All the Shining People </em>captures the experiences of immigrants and outsiders with honesty, subtlety, and deep sympathy. </p>
