Exeunt

<p>In this moving novella Peter Abbot has penned a moving meditation on what it means to live --- and to die. In short order Derrick deals with the passing of his Auth Martha home from South Africa to die; the loss of his best friend Pip; the implications of hundreds of children's graves newly found at former residential school sites; and the grisly end of his long-lost uncle gunned down on the sidewalk outside Derrick's house.</p><p>What does it all mean? Does it mean anything at all? <em>Exeunt</em> like all of Abbot's works looks unflinchingly at the dark corners of the human condition yet finds hope in the hidden strengths of the human heart.</p><p><br></p>
