- Synopsis
- The delightful romantic comedy—now an award-winning feature film. The debut novel from the bestselling author of The Spoon Stealer. Filled with heartache without being maudlin, this contemporary novel about life and love in a small town debuts Lesley Crewe, an original new literary voice. Lesley&’s writing is fresh and funny, and her portrayal of Lexie&’s strong and wry spirit in the face of adversity is unwaveringly authentic. Not since Bridget Jones has a heroine been so well drawn and so totally lovable—hang-ups, insecurities, annoying mother and all. In creating Lexie, her sprawling extended family, and their community, Lesley Crewe brings an east-coast flavored humor to her work—that teasing, biting, whip-smart style that simultaneously stings and tickles. With her charming combination of hometown warmth and savoir-faire, Lesley is sure to entertain and inspire her audience, who will do well to sit up and pay attention to this rising star of mainstream women&’s fiction. Praise for Lesley Crewe and her novels &“Crewe&’s books are rich with detail, wit and understanding of how family and its roots impact on people&’s lives.&” —Cape Breton Post &“The Spoon Stealer might just steal your heart.&” —Amy Spurway, author of Crow &“Shines a light on the secrets and lies that bind generations of Cape Breton families.&” —Toronto Star &“A warm-hearted story of one woman&’s journey from a dark and abusive childhood into the light of acceptance and love.&” —Atlantic Books Today
