Juneau: an acutely observed moment in which we see the universe.

Set in what was once a Canadian gold-­rush town, it’s about lineage, sons and fathers and great uncles, and how we’re connected through time and across the planet.

Gentle without being soft, introspective without navel-gazing — a book interested less in transformation than in recognition. For readers drawn to understated emotional realism, adult uncertainty, and novels that unfold through tone rather than plot.

Note: Juneau is the fourth novella in a set of five by Nick Earls. It is part of the box set called Wisdom Tree.
