Ian's journey through hell is an unconventional one: he tells his sad and woeful tale to a nun-turned-torch singer in a dingy club, and he is sidetracked by baseball games and temporary amnesia. As Ian loves and leaves a succession of women and career paths, we come to understand him and his changing world, and root for him to find a star to guide him home. A funny, moving take on the classic redemption story set against the background of Canada's two new solitudes: religion and secularism. From the author of DOWN THE COALTOWN ROAD. Sheldon Currie lives in Nova Scotia. Original TP.
