Read an excerpt from A Gentle Habit

From the acclaimed, award-winning author of The Marrow Thieves.

This collection of brilliantly written stories was inspired by American Poet Charles Bukowski, who wrote, “In between the punctuating agonies, life is such a gentle habit.” Cherie Dimaline, author of The Marrow Thieves and Empire of Wild, follows this theme of extraordinary ordinariness in these six short stories. A Gentle Habit focuses on the addictions of a diverse group of characters attempting normalcy in an unnatural world.
