Fishing for Birds
"Sharp, visceral storytelling from Linda Quennec, a confident new voice in Canadian novel-writing"
--Sarah Sheard, author of Krank and Almost Japanese
"...Quennec's expert prose quietly glides through highs and lows, seamlessly alternating between modern-day British Columbia and the colorful summer of 1926 on a tropical Cuban quay."
—US Review of Books
"[the] novel offers an astute examination of the despair engendered by solitude and of the paradoxical consolations it delivers."
—Kirkus Reviews

She is also a graduate of The Writers' Studio at Simon Fraser University and The Humber School of Writing.
