BOOK
OF WINGS A
novel by
Tawhida Tanya
Evanson
(Véhicule
Press 2021)
Not
only is Book
of Wings a
stunning
example of
what is
possible when
a poet writes
a novel, it is
a testament to
what is
possible when
we move
through the
world with an
open, broken
heart. Maya,
the
protagonist of
this tale,
learns to love
at a distance
and learns how
to love who
she becomes in
the process.
On her
journey,
strangers
become guides,
memories
become
markers, and
every step she
takes
inevitably
leads her to
the doorstep
of
dervishhood.
