Summary
:
Award-winning author Terry Doyle offers heartbreaking and humorous insights into constructions of masculinity in this gripping family drama.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?
