Summary
An astonishing novel of epic ambition follows generations of a unique French-Canadian family across North America and through the 20th century. A family curse--a genetic trick resulting from centuries of hardship--causes the Herve children to be born either giants or runts.
Author Biography
Deni Y. Béchard's first novel, Vandal Love, (Doubleday Canada, 2006) won the 2007 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for the best first book in the entire British Commonwealth. He has been a fellow at MacDowell, Jentel, the Edward Albee Foundation, Ledig House, the Anderson Center, and the Vermont Studio Center, among others. His articles, stories and translations have appeared in a number of magazines and newspapers, among them the National Post, the Harvard Review and the Harvard Divinity Bulletin. He has done freelance reporting from Iraq, Afghanistan, and has lived in and traveled through over thirty countries. When not traveling, he divides his time between Japan, Cambridge, and Montréal. Cures for Hunger and Vandal Love are his first—and simultaneous—book-length publications in the United States.
