A review by grayjay
North End Love Songs by Katherena Vermette

5.0

I am a sucker for parataxis and Vermette had me on the first page. Parataxis of phrase, parataxis of image, and she uses the technique consistently throughout this beautiful little book about living in Winnipeg's North End. Honest, sometimes sad stories of young women's lives are told with wisdom and gentleness. The painful story of a girl whose brother goes missing.
