These are people who move with the seasons. We meet them negotiating reluctant or cowardly departures, navigating uncertain returns, or biding the disquieting calm that so often precedes moments of decisive action.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn one story, an agoraphobic French  migr  compulsively watches disturbing footage from the other side of the world as she attempts to keep a dog named Chavez out of trouble. In another, a young couple weather the interiority of a Montreal winter, more attuned to the illicit goings-on of their neighbors than to their own hazy, unfolding futures. Other stories play out against the fictional counterparts of iconic Australian and American locales, places that are recognizable but set just beyond the brink of familiarity: flooded townships and distant islands, sunlit woodlands or paths made bright by ice, places of unpredictable access and spaces scrubbed from maps.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the Catskills to New South Wales, from the remote and abandoned island outports of Newfoundland to the sprawl of a North American metropolis, these transformative stories show us how the places where we choose to live our lives can just as easily turn inward as outward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catapult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948226073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2019 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews Fall Preview\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2019 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2019 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Josephine Rowe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36672596377756,"sku":"9781948226073","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ccf869df-4074-46df-bd26-5865f2b8ee27.jpg?v=1603928005","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/here-until-august-stories-9781948226073","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
