Description
Book SynopsisLee Kvern's much-anticipated new collection contains stories which revolve around humanity in all its flawed glory: an artist's girlfriend dies by mistake; a mother holds surveillance on her son's foray into drugs; a sibling's jealousy toward her sickly brother; a father's death; a mother's fear for her unbridled, grade-two son; a woman with a hijab in the modern world of Save-on groceries. An arborist, his wife and a Shar-Pei are in need of an attitude adjustment; a dying senior looks back over her life, her children, her lost love; RCMP and prostitutes come for tea on a Wednesday afternoon.
Trade Review"Lee Kvern is one of those generous writers who leaves her heart and intelligence on every page. And what a big heart it is. What a marvellously vibrant, wholly original inelligence." - Barbara Gowdy
"I loved this book, hooked by the first story" -- Pickle Me This
"Comparable, in their psychological nuance and intricacy, to the work of Alice Munro and Anton Chekhov...7 Ways to Sunday is a work of remarkable compassion and grace." -- Alberta Views
"Lee Kverns recent short story collection, 7 Ways to Sunday, succeeds in bringing its readers a rich world of descriptive prose and a depth of reflection rarely found in the high realist tradition of the Canadian short story collection ... the reader can trust Kvern to excite both their imagination and sense of home." FreeFall Magazine
