Wandering Souls in Paradise Lost

With her follow-up to last year’s Wednesday Night at the End of the World, Hélène Rioux explores the landscape of the written word in search of lost paradises. It is a collection of interconnected tales in which people from vastly different walks of life are united in their search — spanning cultures, histories, and geographies — for what they have lost and what they never had: a soulmate, a soul, childhood, and a reason to go on living.rn
