Cover Collage: Water

Quintessential to the Canadian summer experience is water: whether questionably hygienic public pools in urban centres, still lakes in cottage country, or the rollicking ocean across all three coasts. These books vary in the stories they tell – from a Governor General’s Award winning poetic meditation on a lake to a dystopic cruise to a contemporary retelling of an Arthurian legend – but all include bodies of water, and all of that water is something we can get behind.
