I am from Halifax, salt-water city, a place of silted genius, sudden women, figures floating in all waters. "People from Halifax are all famous", my sister Faith has said. "Because everyone in Halifax knows each other's business." Set amidst the old-monied decadence of 70s-80s Halifax, Aubrey McKee follows a group of freaks and geeks as they navigate late adolescence and begin to come to terms with their privileged upbringing. In the tradition of Franny and Zooey and Lives of Girls and Women, Aubrey McKee is an episodic coming-of-age story and the first in a five-part series of autobiographical novels.
