The Second Life of Samuel Tyne

I will read anything by this extraordinary author. Her characters are always compelling. This novel is about a family of four, in which each member finds it difficult to find the solace they crave in a highly dysfunctional family. When Samuel Tyne inherits his uncle's house, he quits his job and moves his family to a town in Alberta. The fact he doesn't properly grieve for his uncle creates problems for himself with his neighbours. Samuel's dreams as well as his guilt and fear of dealing with his family through the various stages of his life are revealed beautifully in this well-written novel.
