Voices Over Water by Dennis Nurkse

In the early 20th century, a woman and her husband emigrate from Estonia to Canada. Voices over Water is their own record of this passage, evoking in the fine detail of their experience the larger forces to which their lives are subject: war, the unyielding land, famine, silence, and the irreducible strangeness of the bond between them.
D. Nurkse’s parents fled Nazi Europe during World War Two. He has published many books of poetry, and has also written on human rights issues and worked with Amnesty International USA.
