Miriam Toews' Fight Night
Man, this is one of those gorgeous and slightly devastating novels that Toews does so well. It’s narrated by a nine year old girl, living an unconventional life in Toronto with her heavily pregnant actress mother and her eccentric grandmother.

Hilarious and bittersweet. A.
