A gripping novel of love and war, risk and responsibility

Arcadia Hearne is a war researcher, specializing in military ì intervention. But her immersion in contemporary war is offset by ì her refusal to put herself at risk, and by her insistence on ì keeping her past at bay. Ten years earlier, in the mid-1980s, ì Arcadia had fled Toronto for London after two university ì students--rivals for her love--fought a pistol duel over her. ì Now, through the interventions of her sister, Lux, and her ì increasingly complicated relationship with a new lover, Amir, who ì has secrets of his own, Arcadia is forced to confront what really ì happened on the day of the duel. Moving from the verdant ravines ì of Toronto to the secret canals of a gritty, vibrant London, The ì Rules of Engagement has an extraordinary sense of time and place. ì A powerful exploration of the nature of love, the novel ì provocatively explores the crossing of emotional, ethical, and ì literal borders.
