Blue Runaways

by Jann Everard

2024 • Short Stories

Some of the women in Blue Runaways are grieving. Some are looking for a second chance. All are at a turning point. From Iceland to Bali, from the comfortable houses of Canada’s cities to its wild and expansive backcountry, the characters in this collection face the most human of fears: that dear ones die, love is a risk, and no promise is certain.

“With prose that’s vivid, precise, and quite beautiful, Everard writes stories that are at their beating heart mysterious and profoundly satisfying.” — Rachel Cantor

“… a thought-provoking and bittersweet collection…” — Kathy Page
