Book description
Is it a happy ending? Define happy. Stuart Lewis, thirty-three, in love
and content, wakes up one day to find his fiance has left him.
Perpetually underemployed and now homeless, Stuart moves onto his
mother's couch. With few connections and no ambition, Stuart is forced
to rethink the choices he has made and the sincerity of the life that
has just been shattered. Set against the frigid backdrop of downtown
Toronto, The Year She Left casts an eclectic bunch of directionless
underachievers and unlikely heroes amid the buzz of late night binges
and early corporate bustle. Honest and unapologetic about the often
detached nature of urban existence, this is the story of what happened
in the year she left. Kerry Kelly is a native of North Bay, Ontario.
She has been a full-time professional print and Web writer since 1998.
Her byline has appeared in publications such as the Toronto Star, NOW,
the Calgary Herald, and the Sudbury Star. Her debut novel, The Year She
Left, was published in 2008. She lives in Toronto.
