Anne Michaels is a distinguished Canadian poet and writer, winner and finalist of numerous international awards; her books have become international bestsellers and been adapted for the screen, and have been translated into 45 languages. Her third novel, When They Hold Us, is a finalist for the 2024 Booker Prize and the Prix Femina Étranger, and winner of the Prix Transfuge. It is “a philosophical novel in episodes, spanning the period from 1910 to 2025, exploring the boundaries between the carnal and the ineffable, the mortal and the spiritual” (The New Yorker). Here, a photographer who has returned from the First World War to his wife, who has waited for him, reopens his studio – and ghosts appear on his photographic plates. And this is only the beginning of a “masterfully compact epic” (Washington Post), in which “from the shards of love and memory... the dreams and hopes of four generations are woven” (The Guardian.
