Book Description

From the award-winning author of A Complicated Kindness comes a delightfully funny and charming novel about growing up, getting old, and falling in love in a small town

Life in Winnipeg didn't go as planned for Knute Corea-McCloud and her daughter, Summer Feelin'. But moving back in with her parents in Algren, Manitoba, and working for the longtime mayor, Hosea Funk, has its own challenges: Knute finds herself mixed up with Hosea's attempts to achieve his dream of meeting the Prime Minister-even if that means keeping the town's population at an even 1500. It's not an easy task, with citizens threatening to leave, Summer Feelin's father threatening to move back, Hosea's lady friend looking to move in, and one Algrenian on the verge of giving birth-to twins or possibly triplets. Hosea's search for his own roots takes us back to Algren's days as an outpost prairie town, when his mother, Euphemia, was seduced by a mysterious cowboy. Discovering the true identity of that cowboy fuels Hosea's many obsessions and just might reveal whether he is, indeed, a boy of good breeding.

Miriam Toews's inimitable humor and her largerthan- life characters bring small-town Canada to life. A Boy of Good Breeding is a big-hearted, hilarious novel about finding out where you belong.
