Listen, Honey

With grit, humour, and tenderness, in Listen, Honey, this western Canadian writer exposes the emotionally electric lives of men, women, and children. Familial and romantic relationships turn strange or go altogether awry; wild idiosyncrasies develop, and characters navigate their personal joys, ironies, and crashing disasters with courage and grace. These finely crafted stories resonate with emotion, reject sentimentality, and, like life itself, are impossible to predict. Listen, Honey is an entertaining, thoughtful, and downright sexy book.
