Five stars for a stellar example of contemporary creative fiction. Reading this book was like binge-watching 5 seasons of a TV show on Netflix. It is simply marvellous how Mr. Carlucci weaves each story into a cohesive perspective on life in a small NWT town and its lone high-rise that shelters all manner of left of normal types. Humorous and sad, raw and honest, this book will satisfy those who enjoy good contemporary fiction.
