Dundurn Press is thrilled to announce that Amaranthine Chevrolet by Dennis E Bolen is a finalist for the 2026 Victoria Book Prize. Congratulations, Dennis! Amaranthine Chevrolet by Dennis E Bolen explores themes of individual virtue, the necessity of stoicism and redemption through love, and the damage of childhood trauma. The Literary Review of Canada says “Amaranthine Chevrolet is well worth a read. Robin is easy to cheer for, and the other characters provide moments of humour and tenderness. When the young protagonist finally reaches his family, Bolen reveals what has motivated him and how he came to possess the Chevy. It makes for a heartbreaking final chapter.”Founded in 2004, the Victoria Book Prize Society promotes public appreciation of books by authors living in Greater Victoria. The City of Victoria is a long-standing sponsor of the Victoria Book Prize and the Children's Book Prize, while local poet and philanthropist DC Reid provides financial support for the poetry prize.
