Alissa York

Alissa York’s internationally acclaimed novels include Mercy, Effigy (shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize), Fauna and The Naturalist. Her most recent novel, Far Cry, was partly inspired by time she spent as a child with her dad in a skiff off the BC coast. York now makes her home in Toronto.
