Though it starts with a fire, the appeal of this book is its style of depicting aftermath, which is understated despite high emotional tension. It’s akin to the scent of smoke that bothers Eduardo during anxious moments in the months following the blast. A novel of precariousness – in love and life – set in a Montreal mosaic of French, English and les autres.  The novel follows a trio of characters who are each grappling with their respective identities in relation to their professions, and centres on an architect named Eduardo, his partner Genevieve – a mycologist (studying fungi) – and a mutual friend named Patrick....But for all the introspection and attention to unseen currents some passages of the novel felt a bit distant from what was most interesting for me as a reader....Overall Backspring is a well-written and smart novel that unfolds many moments of profound and subtle beauty. McCormack’s treatment of details and prose are refreshing, confident, and attentive. Prix et récompenses
