Description

Heather, a business woman away at a conference, runs into a past fling, Tom, and must decide whether or not she’ll open the door to her hotel room to him once again.

Finalist for the Giller Prize and winner of the Saskatchewan Book of the Year, Casino & Other Stories pulls us beneath the surface of convention into uncharted and often unpredictable emotional territory. Wry and intelligent, humane and touching, Bonnie Burnard’s stories seduce and then surprise us with a sense of the familiar finally understood, and of passion recognized.
