    About this audiobook

    From the streets of Danang, Vietnam, where a boy falls in with a young American missionary, to fishermen lost off
    the islands of Honduras, to the Canadian prairies, where a teenage boy’s infatuation reveals his naiveté and an aging
    rancher finds himself smitten, the short stories in Here the Dark explore the spaces between doubt and belief, evil and
    good, obscurity and light. Following men and boys bewildered by their circumstances and swayed by desire, surprised
    by love and by their capacity for both tenderness and violence, and featuring a novella about a young woman who
    rejects the laws of her cloistered Mennonite community, Scotiabank Giller Prize–winner David Bergen’s latest deftly
    renders complex moral ambiguities and asks what it means to be lost—and how we might be found.
