| 590 | . | ‡aFP 30,000(CDN) DEBUT. As gripping and unforgettable as Fredrik Backman's BEAR TOWN and Kristin Hannah's GREAT ALONE, this haunting novel digs into the impact of a fatal avalanche on a small BC mountain town, as seen through the eyes of those who survive the tragedy. LAST WINTER the story of a child who might not survive the heartbreak of her father's death and a mother who struggles to both parent and manage her grief in the grips of a Bipolar crisis. Fiona and Gus's marriage has veered off course. Fiona's mental health is shaky at best, and is now further strained under the weight of a transgression that she would like to both forget and repeat. Gus, a pro snowboarder turned backcountry guide, is exhausted by Fiona's mood swings and her ambivalence about their relationship, but mostly by the impact of her erratic behaviour on their 8-year-old daughter, Ruby. Ruby loves them both, but has a much closer relationship with her father, and has stopped talking in the face of the tensions between her parents. | |
