Description

Tollemarche, Alberta , is really every small city in Canada .It has its pecking order , its prejudices its scndals and also its Establishment.Nearly at the pinnacle was Mrs Boyd Stych whose social life led her to neglected her husband and her son Hank - a latchkey kid, In his teens his resentment led him to write a book under a pseudonym which blew the lid off Tollemarche's social set . "Hilarious and sometimes sad in its dessscriptions of Olga's embarassement , this is a novel of extraordinary power that attacks the establishment for its neglect of the more important things in society. [The author is better know for her alter ego Helen Forrester]
