Listen to an excerpt from Held by Anne Michaels – a soaring and luminous story of chance and change
A novel of love and loyalty across generations, at once sweeping and intimate …
Held – the breathtaking new novel by Anne Michaels, the author of the Orange Prize-winning Fugitive Pieces – is out now from Jonathan Ball Publishers.
Michaels’s books have been translated into over 45 languages and have won dozens of international awards, including the Orange Prize for Fiction, the Guardian Fiction Prize and the Lannan Literary Award for Fiction. Fugitive Pieces was adapted into a feature film. From 2015 to 2019, she was Toronto’s poet laureate. She lives in Canada.
In a narrative that spans four generations, Michaels’s latest book Held traces moments of connection and consequence, igniting and reigniting as a century unfolds.
In luminous moments of desire, comprehension, longing, transcendence, the sparks fly upward, working their transformations decades later.
Held is a novel like no other, by a writer at the height of her powers: affecting and intensely beautiful, full of mystery, wisdom and compassion.
