Surfacing uncovers a protagonist's return to the Canadian wilderness, where she confronts buried family secrets and her own fragmented identity. Lady Oracle illustrates the elaborate deceptions of a woman who fakes her death to escape a life entangled with a secret career writing gothic romances. These narratives collectively offer incisive, often darkly humorous, critiques of identity, gender roles, and the elusive search for authenticity.
