Summary
:
Isla, a chef and co-owner of a farm-to-table restaurant on the brink of closing, and Jake, a visual artist tormented by the oil-and-gas legacy of his late father, are a couple drifting apart. A looming figure in both their lives is Reg Bevaqua, Jake's childhood friend turned enemy turned bottled water baron. Reg is a demanding regular at Isla's restaurant and a man with a seething resentment toward Jake. With good reason the feeling is mutual, but Jake keeps their past from Isla as he follows a devastating trail to the source of Reg's wealth. When Jake disappears following a winter camping trip, Isla starts to connect the dots, with all roads leading to Reg and his magnificent island property on Georgian Bay. Seamlessly weaving in observations on the entitlements of the wealthy, the monetization of water, and the politics of art, Joan Thomas has created a layered, page-turning read about how far we will go to hold on to power and what we will do to avenge old wounds.
