THE LOST GIRLS OF CAMP FOREVERMORE
From the award-winning author of For Today I Am A Boy, a gripping and deeply felt novel about a group of young girls at a remote campand the night that changes everything.
A group of young girls descend on Camp Forevermore, a sleepaway camp in the Pacific Northwest, where their days are filled with swimming lessons, friendship bracelets, and camp songs by the fire. Filled with excitement and nervous energy, they set off on an overnight kayaking trip to a nearby island. But before night falls, they find themselves stranded, without a guide, without protection.
The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore traces the lives of these five girlsNita, Kayla, Isabel, Dina, and Siobhanafter this fateful trip. We see them through successes and failures, loving relationships and heartbreaks; we see what it means to find, and define, oneself and the ways in which the same experience is refracted through different people. In diamond-sharp prose, Kim Fu gives us a portrait of friendship and of women, of the families we build for ourselves, and the pasts we can't escape.
KIM FU's debut novel, For Today I Am a Boy (2014), was the winner of the Edmund White Award and the Canadian Authors Association Emerging Writer Award; a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award, the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize, the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize, and a Lambda Literary Award; a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice; and long-listed for Canada Reads, among other honors. Her first poetry collection, How Festive the Ambulance (2016), included a Best Canadian Poetry selection, and her non-fiction credits include The Atlantic, NPR Books, The Rumpus, Hazlitt, Maisonneuve, and Best Canadian Essays. Fu has an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia and she has received residency fellowships from Berton House (Dawson City, YK), the Ucross Foundation (Ucross, WY), Wildacres (Little Switzerland, NC), and the Wallace Stegner Grant for the Arts (Eastend, SK).
