Acerca de este título
A fresh take on the romance novel from the Giller Prize-winning author of Fifteen Dogs.
From their first meeting, it was clear that Gwen and Tancred were meant to be together. But, as we know, the course of true love never did run smooth.
Gwen’s mother, intuiting that her daughter is in love, gives her a magic ring that has been passed down through endless generations of mothers and daughters. This ring grants its wearer the opportunity to change three things about her beloved. Like all blessings, this may also be a curse.
Ring turns the literary romance upside down and shakes out its pockets. It’s a playful meditation on the past, on magic, on race, on honor, on faith, and, yes, on love.
Following on the heels of Pastoral, Fifteen Dogs, The Hidden Keys, and Days by Moonlight, Ring completes Alexis’s Quincunx, a group of five genre-bending, philosophically sophisticated, and utterly delightful novels.

“Alexis churns up a consistent supply of wry, pithy lines (‘People fall out of respect as easily as they fall out of love’) while maintaining the tension between the threat and hope that the ring offers...[a] pleasantly unusual outing.” (Publishers Weekly)
“If any book is highly anticipated this year, it’s Alexis’s 'Ring', the final in the quincunx, the series of five books he planned, each in a different genre - pastoral, apologue ('Fifteen Dogs'), for which he won the Giller Prize and other awards), travel narrative ('Days by Moonlight' won the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize), mystery and, now, romance. 'Ring' is a 'meditation' on love that includes, naturally, a long narrative poem about Aphrodite, along with Alexis’s engaging, precise and funny writing.” (The Toronto Star, 35 books you need to know about in fall 2021)
