All the Voices Cry

This first collection by the New Zealand-born Alice Peterson positively sparkles with down-under merriment and charm. Her themes are simple--love, family, death--but rendered so precisely that their inner complexities shine clear, and their most improbable beauties emerge. All the Voices Cryis a romantic and whimsical debut from a not-to-be-missed young author. Alice Petersenis a writer and critic whose work has been shortlisted for numerous Canadian prizes and awards. She was born in New Zealand and now lives and works in Montreal, Quebec.
