Kit is baffled to find herself divorced from Buster, her third ex-husband, and seeks to navigate her semi-chaotic life.
In the dead of winter in her gossip-plagued Prairie city, Kit finds herself in the confusing aftermath of a third marriage, with all of her ex-husbands still amicably in her life. Her mother won't quit smoking through their Friday Classic Movie nights, her sons wander in and out looking for stuff, and her best friend Finkelstein wants help to capture Judas Squirrel somewhere in his eaves. Kit is trying to decide whether to quit her customer service job at the local hardware store while simultaneously trying not to drink. More than anything, she wants to stop thinking about the infuriating Buster.
Sharp with self-deprecating humour, After Buster is bittersweet novel of family, friends, and romantic entanglement, set in a semi-ridiculous Saskatchewan city in the first year of the twenty-first century.
