Описание: Adopted by two loving male poet-scientist parents, and burdened with a strange power of empathy, Charissa grows up in Edmonton, finds love in the inner city, stands trial for eco-terrorism, escapes from a Caribbean prison and journeys homeward amid political turmoil and personal grief to find her lover, confront a friend, and save a child. Reviews of Charissas Shoes: Charissas Shoes is a visionary novel that speaks to the reader on many levels. It is a very clever tale that provides deep insight into many complex issues ranging from environmental protection, to freedom of expression, to the principles of government, and to the not often perceived fragility of our western democracy. Charissas Shoes is a kind of bildungsroman for a nation. Combining elements of satire and fabulism, the narrative reaches back to a very recent moment in Canadian political history and projects one possible direction the future could have taken. For the time at least, Canada has averted such a prospect-though populist nationalism has begun rearing its unkempt head even here-but our neighbours to the south are just embarking on a dark journey of their own. This lucidly-written novel is both witty and penetrating. A cautionary tale well worth reading.
