Writers’ Trust of Canada - 2019 Best Books of the Year: Recommended Reading Lists

So honoured and humbled to hear Jenny Heijun Wills said Coconut Dreams was one of her favs of 2019. Older Sister. Not Necessarily Related. was definitely on my list as well!

“The stories in Coconut Dreams by Derek Mascarenhas move me to want to be a better storyteller. Throughout, he finds the perfect words that make me stop mid-sentence and marvel at how a writer can quietly stun a reader into holding their breath just with language.”
