    About this ebook

    Low is a novel about family, identity, illness, love and loss. Lyrical, personal prose draws readers into the world of Adriana Song. We feel our way through Low with her as she navigates lopsided friendships, failed romances and tries to to weather the storm that is her life.

    “An empathetic coming-of-age story about the redemptive power of love.”—Globe and Mail

    “Low is a genuine and gentle novel about family, identity, and the road to recovery.”—Quill & Quire
