Dundurn Press is thrilled to announce that Mudflowers by Aley Waterman has been longlisted for the 2023 BMO Winterset Award! Congratulations Aley!
In the wake of her mother’s death, Sophie navigates a complicated dynamic between her oldest love, Alex, and newest love, Maggie. Dynamics unfold in surprising ways, leading Sophie back to her home in Newfoundland to reconcile her past and her future. Toronto Star says "the book’s insights are most powerful when linked to Sophie’s states of emotional resignation," and Booklist said "Sophie’s humor is reminiscent of the protagonist's in Elif Batuman’s The Idiot."
The BMO Winterset Award celebrates and supports excellence in Newfoundland & Labrador writing., with winners being announced in March 2024. Learn more here.
