The debut novel from the bestselling author of Women Talking, written with her signature wit and compassion.

Lucy and her eight-month-old son live in a Winnipeg housing project filled with single mothers on the dole. Still dealing with her own mother’s sudden death, and new to the ever-multiplying complications of life on welfare, Lucy strikes up a friendship with her neighbour, Lish. On the whole, they’re pretty happy… But Lucy wants to make sure they stay happy. And she has a plan.

Told with Toews’s signature scalding wit and deep compassion, Summer Of My Amazing Luck is a brilliantly funny book about the intricacies of friendship, grief, and poverty.
