The Wards

Beschreibung

***2022 BMO WINTERSET AWARD - LONGLIST*** ***2023 NL READS - FINALIST*** The Wards are a working-class Newfoundland family on the cusp of upheaval. The children are becoming adults, the adults are growing old, and the new dog was probably stolen. When a sudden illness forces the Wards together, can they finally learn to be close-knit? This unsettling, at times hilarious novel explores the instability of nuclear families and the depths of dysfunction. Family is family--you don't get to choose. So what, exactly, do you get to choose?
