EVERY MONTH HAS A MOOD,

a feeling, some combination of memories, moments and nostalgia. You know it—you feel it—even if you’ve never really thought about it. To help encapsulate the moods of the months, we’re asking novelists to take on the calendar and evoke the feelings of each season through fiction, memoir or some mix of the two. Jules Torti is a writer and editor in Lion’s Head, Ont.
