As part of the kickoff to Amazon Unlimited, Helena Puumala's short fiction piece Where the Apple Falls will be free on Amazon this week, as a Kindle ebook.
This short story
(approx. 6500 words) focuses on the complex and somewhat troubled
relations between children, parents, and grandparents. It also
revolves around the mysterious forces of the universe, including the
various notions of the divine held by the people in the story, which
sometimes conflict, much as they do in the world in general. An
Easter service and a freshly planted apple tree draw the parties
together, over one fateful Easter weekend.
The story is set in a
Northern Ontario lake community, and continues to explore the setting
and characters introduced in “Love at the Lake” and “The
Boathouse Christ”, also by Helena Puumala.
