"Good to a Fault" by Marina Endicott
This novel was nominated for the Giller this year. Of course Boyden's "Through Black Spruce" won as it should...he's an amazing writer. But I think this one deserved the recognition of a nomination. Not the greatest book in the world but worth a read and moved me to tears at times. I thought it was going to cave in to sentimentality at times but managed to avoid it. Endicott was born in Golden, B.C. and now lives in Alberta. The novel is set in Saskatoon although setting isn't particularly important.
