Summer of My Amazing Luck

Více o knize

Finalist for the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour Now available from Vintage Canada, a hilarious first novel about life’s ups and downs from the author of the bestselling A Complicated Kindness. Lucy and Lish are two single moms who live in Winnipeg’s Have-a-Life housing project – also known as Half-a-Life – where the nosy neighbours won’t mind their own business, kids’ wagons and cheap strollers are the only way to get to the grocery store and the summer rain is endless. Lucy’s not quite sure who the father of her son is, but Lish still pines for the father of her twins, a fire-eating busker who came through town a few years back. So when Lish decides they should head to Colorado to find him, they borrow a van held together with coat-hangers and electrical tape, load it up with clothes, toys, food and kids, and hit the road. Lucy’s not sure they’ll ever find the fire-eater, but there’s no way she can know that this will be the summer of her amazing luck.
