Read the excerpt below, from the novel “Annabel”, by Kathleen Winter.
Wayne's sadness over Jacinta was the sadness all sons and daughters feel when their ferry starts moving and the parent stands on the dock, waving and growing tiny. A sadness that stings, then melts in a fresh wind.
WINTER, Kathleen. Annabel. Toronto: House of Anansi Press, 2010. p. 309.
