A heartbreaking novel with complex, vividly-imagined characters against the backdrop of the expansive Canadian Prairie. Perfect for Fans of Ann Hood's The Obituary Writer.

Dutchyshen’s writing is concise and she is skilful at pointing out typical interactions between people living in a small town.
