Product Information

Levon Hawke is a kind, gentle fellow who has been in prison for a hapless and almost comical misunderstanding. The first thing he does upon being paroled is head to his old friend Sweeney's diner. There Hawke considers his cousin Simon Tibeault's job offer to work in his bakery on a small nearby island with a suspect history. Lulled by Sweeney's stories and the comfort of the diner, Hawke misses the only ferry. But, provisioned with doughnuts and Sweeney's map, he sets out anyway across the frozen part of the lake, alone and in failing light. A ruined house, deep in a dark forest, is the first thing he sees after stumbling ashore on the wrong end of the island. It is the glimmer of light beneath the door that brings him closer. Behind the door, he meets tall, redheaded Obdulia Limb, grieving for her mother, ten years dead. Drawn in by Obdulia's overbearing father and her octogenarian femme fatale of a stepmother, Hawke tries to resist their scheme to involve him in a comic yet gruesome conspiracy to cure Obdulia of her grief. But love has other plans for him. Packed with magic, comic misunderstandings, and metaphorical brilliance,Down There by the Trainis a witty and wistful gothic romance by a writer of exceptional talent.

Reviews
"There is something about Canada that breeds marvellous women novelists; and if Kate Sterns' assured debut is anything to go by, it cannot be long before she is mentioned in the same breath as Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro." - Sunday Telegraph (UK) "Sterns is well versed in magic realist and gothic conventions, but skilfully prevents these literary tropes from dominating the story. Balancing elegant description with witty dialogue, Sterns never allows the strangeness of her characters to diminish their humanity…[T]he characters are drawn with sensitivity…Sterns brings her tale to life with humour and a clear vision of life down the rabbit hole." -Quill & Quire "Down There By the Train is a refreshing read…there is a surplus of creative energy, a desire to fashion a thing unique to Canadian literature - something like a kind of modern gothic comedy…Down There By the Train gets points for cutting a figure unlike any other Canadian book. That's certainly worth something." -Montreal Gazette "It is, at its core, a tale about the hole of grief that the absence of love brings - and the qualities that being loved draws out from even the most distressed…The pace, the tempo, of Down There By the Train is nicely formed." -Noah Richler, National Post "OK, I admit it, I have a soft sopt for ex-cons. And for food. So of course I loved Kate Sterns's delicious, wicked new novel, Down There By the Train. The question is, how to tell you what it's like…Some things just have to be experienced to be appreciated. If you've read…Sterns's brilliant first novel, you'll have an inkling of what's on the menu. Imagination, huge dollops of it. Generous scoops of laughter, word-play like raisins, guaranteed in every bite. Insight, enough to give it spice and linger on the palate, but never overbearing. All of it served up with such a feel for pacing, for structure, for the deeper pleasures of significance that you can't help thinking, here is a writer born to it…I can't wait to dip back in, nibble away at the book again, savouring the bons mots of this satisfying writer." -Merilyn Simonds, National Post "Kate Sterns loves to play with the English language. In Down There by the Train, she's forever trying out new puns…Despite the wackiness, Sterns's work has a serious side, delving into what we consume and what consumes us, whether it's words or emotion. Craving some imagination? Down There By the Train is a rich treat." -Bonnie Schiedel, Chatelaine "The novel is a wonderfully witty and wise investigation of the two choices we have when it comes to dealing with loss: get over it, or don't." -Joel Yanofsky, Montreal Gazette
