Writing doesn’t get much better,” The Edmonton Journal enthused when The Roaring Girl was
first published in 1995. Readers and award committees agreed, bestowing Hollingshead with bestselling-author status and a Governor General’s Award for Fiction. These are 12 stories that dazzle with a compelling sense of mystery just below the surface, a showcase for Hollingshead’s uncanny ability to turn the world on its head and view life from unexpected perspectives.
