Title: Ring Author: André Alexis Narrator: Warona Setshwaelo, André Alexis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 58 minutes Release date: October 30, 2021 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A fresh take on the romance novel from the Giller Prize-winning author of Fifteen Dogs From their first meeting, it was clear that Gwen and Tancred were meant to be together. But, as we know, the course of true love never did run smooth. Gwen's mother, intuiting that her daughter is in love, gives her a magic ring that has been passed down through endless generations of mothers and daughters. This ring grants its wearer the opportunity to change three things about her beloved. Like all blessings, this may also be a curse. Ring turns the literary romance upside down and shakes out its pockets. It's a playful meditation on the past, on magic, on race, on honour, on faith, and, yes, on love. Following on the heels of Pastoral, Fifteen Dogs, The Hidden Keys, and Days by Moonlight, Ring completes Alexis's Quincunx, a group of five genre-bending, philosophically sophisticated, and utterly delightful novels. "A great novel doesn't try to answer questions, but, like Days by Moonlight, complicates them. " - Globe and Mail on Days by Moonlight "This imaginative travelogue will amuse readers even as it raises weightier issues. " - Publishers Weekly on Days by Moonlight "I'm far from being a dog person, but as a book person I loved this smart, exuberant fantasy from start to finish. " - The Guardian on Fifteen Dogs "A clever exploration of our essence, communication, and how our societies are organized. " - Kirkus on Fifteen Dogs
