Aprašymas

The interconnected stories of Vigil are packed with uncomfortable characters caught in situations of complex morality, with each piece both a chapter in the overall story and also a stand-alone investigation of the concepts of addiction, crime, redemption, and complicity.

Vigil is a collection of interconnected short stories set in the fictional, ex-urban community of Grace Harbour, a town that rests between the ocean and the wilderness. A beautiful but harsh environment with few employers and even fewer social resources, residents of Grace Harbour must make difficult choices to survive, and these decisions set the characters swinging between self-serving greed and selfless bravery. In Grace Harbour, every action has a ripple effect that spreads through the community, making everyone complicit in the lives and deaths of their neighbours.
