Reviews
"Aficionados of greyscale Americana will love these interlinked vignettes - perfect polaroid snapshots of everyday life for generations of working-class women in Ontario." Stu Hennigan, author of Ghosts Signs; "These bittersweet vignettes linked by intergenerational familial ties are little gems making up a caustic jewel of a novel." Jonathan Wolfman, BAFTA-Winner screenwriter and producer; "Lisa Pike is a wonderful writer. She brings these characters and their trials to life in a prose that carries their stories along in an engaging and accessible way." Dr Karina M. Szczurek, publisher and author of The Fifth Mrs Brink: A Memoir
