Jennifer Quist
August 2015
The second novel by award-winning novelist Jennifer Quist is a black comedy of birth, death, love, marriage, mothers-in-law—and five sassy sisters. When Suzanne’s role as the perfect daughter-in-law ends in a deadly accident, she panics, makes a monumentally bad decision, and upends her world. The bond with her sisters is the strongest force Suzanne knows, and it may be the one that can keep her from ruin. Quist’s new novel is hilarious, spine-chilling, satisfying, and original. A romp.
Jennifer Quist is a novelist, journalist, talker, and firstborn of five sisters. Her debut novel, Love Letters of the Angels of Death (LLP 2013), won her an Alberta Lieutenant Governor’s Emerging Artist Award in 2014. The book was longlisted for the 2015 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and was a finalist for a 2013 Whitney Award for Best Novel. She lives in the Edmonton area with her husband and five sons.
