The story rather than being told from the point of view of time...is brought to vivid life from several vantage points of timemany years later from Toronto where Terry is married and his life fractures and falls apart and loses his familyto Vancouver..Hong Kong...as he tries to piece together the abuse and PICTURE of the young YVONNE...the tale and investigation is not only a help...but to understand her and paint her as she appears in this harrowing tale. The novel is told in the first person by Terry who tries to paint her picture and we must judge for ourselves, through his poems, and coming to terms with his own life and that of his characters, and his search for Yvette, in body and also to grasp her essence, whether he has succeeded.
