Nikolski

Winner of CBC Canada Reads 2010 and the Governor General's Literary Award for Translation, Nikolski is a richly imaginative story that explores personal journeys of migration and self-discovery. Set in spring 1989, it follows three young people as they navigate their way to Montreal, each facing unique challenges rooted in their backgrounds and histories. With humor, charm, and inventive storytelling, Nicolas Dickner weaves a tapestry of interconnected lives and curious links, from archaeological mysteries to tales of pirates, broken compasses, and a peculiar book with no cover.
