 Toronto Book Awards 2009 Get a New Read on Toronto
A girl faints in the Toronto subway while her friends are taken to the hospital with unexplained rashes. Panic grips the city, and words like terrorism become airborne. Soon, people are collapsing all over. Alex, a photographer whose sight is failing, rushes to capture Toronto on film before he loses his vision completely. Girls Fall Down is a novel of small gestures, showing the slide into paranoia, and the slide into love. Maggie Helwig has published six books of poetry, two books of essays, a collection of short stories, and two previous novels, Where She Was Standing and Between Mountains. Her newest novel, Girls Fall Down, appeared in NOW Magazine's and the National Post's lists of Top Ten Books of 2008.
