In her long walks around the city, Cho Sum meets new friends, confronts classism and racism, and learns how to build a life as a widow in a neighborhood that is being destroyed and rebuilt, leaving elders like her behind. A poignant meditation on loss, aging, gentrification, and the barriers that Chinese Canadian seniors experience in big cities, Denison Avenue beautifully combines visual art, fiction, and the endangered Toisan dialect to create a book that is truly unforgettable. This audiobook edition includes an accompanying PDF of illustrations on supported reading platforms. It also includes behind-the-scenes production notes from the author and the illustrator, detailing their inspirations for the story and their personal connections to the community and urban landscape of Toronto's Chinatown and Kensington Market.
