Written in luminous prose, The Whirlpool is a haunting tale set in Niagara Falls, Ontario, in the summer of 1889. This is the season of reckless river stunts, a time when the undertakerâ€™s widow is busy with funerals, her days shadowed by her young sonâ€™s curious silence. Across the street in Kickâ€™s Hotel, where Fleda and her husband, David McDougal, have temporary rooms, Fleda dreams of the place above the whirlpool where she first encountered the poet, a man who enters her life and, unwittingly, changes everything. As the summer progresses, the lives of these characters become entangled, and darker, more sinister currents gain momentum.

The Whirlpool, Jane Urquhartâ€™s first novel, received Le prix du meilleur livre Ã©tranger (Best Foreign Book Award) in France and marked the brilliant debut of a major voice in Canadian fiction.
