About the book:
“From Elizabeth Hay, one of Canada’s most beloved novelists, comes a startling and beautiful memoir about the drama of her parents’ end, and the longer drama of being their daughter.

In this courageous memoir, written with tough-minded candour, tenderness, and wit, Elizabeth Hay lays bare the exquisite agony of a family’s dynamics–entrenched favouritism, sibling rivalries, grievances that last for decades, genuine admiration, and enduring love. In the end, she reaches a more complete understanding of the most unforgettable characters she will ever know, the vivid giants in her life who were her parents.”
