Set in 1830s Bytown during the height of the timber trade and Shiners’ War, Unrest tells the story, in four first-person voices, about the slow death of a marriage, a rivetingly taboo love triangle, a traumatized Irish spinster who becomes a feminist hero, and a rebellious boy who dreams of escaping the crush of class divides. Publication is scheduled for April, 2024. The deal was arranged by Marilyn Biderman of the Transatlantic Agency.
