Wheat Kings and Pretty Things

0 reviews
By G.S. Wiley (2017)
As soon as he graduated high school, Paul Thompson fled the tiny, heavily Ukrainian town of Liddon, Saskatchewan, for bigger and better things. Now in his late thirties, Paul owns a struggling art gallery in Toronto. His grandmother's one-hundredth birthday is approaching, and Paul will return to place where he grew up for the first time since he left. The town—and the province—don't match Paul's memories. Have they changed? Or has he? He reconnects with Dylan Shevchenko, an old friend who now teaches phys. ed. in Regina. When Paul learns his grandmother had an Aboriginal son he never knew about, he wonders what else he missed while he was away. Did he make the right choice all those years ago? He receives the rare opportunity to start over when he discovers a gallery for sale in Regina. He's faced with a choice between his youthful dreams in the big city and making a life with Dylan in a place that somehow finally feels like home. World of Love: Stories of romance that span every corner of the globe.
