Abstract

Set in Montreal, Ahuntsic Park, is a collection of linked stories that explore themes of religion, spirituality, and faith as they intersect with life, death, and sexuality. As the character Maggie treads through her life, her unique experiences are built on her passionate interest in the historical past, her strong attentiveness to the present, her inner fantasy world, and her penchant for visions and apparitions. Accompanying Maggie are some of the people who are a part of her life, including her husband and sister. Each devises a strategy to cope with the circumstances of their lives that make it possible for her to examine the nature of communications within the context of her relationships.
