Something is missing in your life. So, you go to a store and buy what you need. You get the flatpacked furniture home, open it up and spread the pieces out on the floor. But there's no instructions. The furniture is you. These are the instructions. You have everything you need. It's there on the floor. Getting it to work together in a way which actually solves the problem you started your day with is a huge challenge. You ask friends. Each of them has a different opinion. You try it their ways.

You put your furniture together and set it up in the house. The problem is solved. You clear away the mess. Now everything is better. It's hard to remember what was missing before, or the confusion you had to deal with. I am that stranger. These are the instructions. The Invisible Lion Flatpack instructions for life

In this eloquent novel, an Italian/Canadian woman named Bianca tells the story of her beloved cousin, Marco, whose life is disintegrating along with his city--Venice, Italy. As she tries to make sense of her cousin's breakdown, Bianca recounts her own history and reflects on her immigrant and Canadian experiences, coming to terms with her dual cultures. The novel is multifaceted as a thriller, study of social mores in Italy and Canada, portrait of Venice, and self-reflexive account.
