About
The River Twice, by the Giller-nominated author of The Island Walkers, is a gripping new World War I novel set in the same factory town familiar to his many readers, where residents are reeling as the wounded return and the list of local young men who have been killed continues to grow. Wounded in body and spirit, Ted Whitfield returns home from the trenches to his wife, Miriam, who finds him deeply altered and virtually unreachable. Her sister, Grace, afflicted by her own secret trauma, falls into an immediate and electric affinity with Ted, and soon he is telling her<U+2014>and only her<U+2014>a story from the front lines that<U+2019>s as shocking as it is extraordinary. As the novel moves back and forth between the lush, rolling landscape of southern Ontario and the devastated French countryside where exhausted Canadian troops are entrenched, the three characters at the centre of the narrative become entwined in almost unbearable tension.
