What You’re Missing
Isabel and Ed live in the shadows of two very different Jewish histories. It’s 1973 in Canada, and they really like each other – and each other’s parents.

Fantasmagoriana
Fleeing Britain in scandal, Lord Byron is pent up in Geneva with writer’s block and a male lover. Mary and Percy Shelley have come to visit, but why? And what will they do amid the nonstop rain?
