The Wind at Dawn is a work of literary magical realism that adopts the quaint nostalgia and yearning of Haruki Murakami’s South of the Border, West of the Sun and the heartfelt experimentation in form and medium of Keinart Lobre's One Thousand Lies.
The novel follows Gale as he navigates his relationship with Dawn and the challenges he faces in his personal and professional life. As he spends more time with her, he becomes increasingly obsessed with finding out her true identity and reconnecting with her. This pursuit becomes all-consuming, causing him to neglect his friendships and writing.
As his relationship with Selene becomes strained, she eventually leaves Montreal without warning. Charlotte becomes his only remaining connection to the outside world, but she becomes estranged from him when he becomes too focused on finding Dawn.
Ultimately, Gale realizes that the Dawn he has been pursuing is a figment of his own imagination and that the woman he thought he knew never actually existed. He is forced to confront the consequences of his actions and the damage he has caused to his relationships, and must work to rebuild his life and reconnect with those he has pushed away.
The Wind at Dawn is a story of self-discovery and the importance of connection and relationships. It explores the complexities of love and loss, and the power of the imagination to both bring us hope and lead us astray.
