MOST Books: A Week of This


By Nathan Whitlock


Review editor of Quill & Quire magazine Nathan Whitlock’s first venture into fiction is the brilliant, darkly comic, and startlingly honest ‘A week of this’.  The novel follow the lives of an extended family over one increasingly desperate week. Manda is a 38-year-old, tough, sarcastic woman who has yet to make peace with the town she was brought to as a teenager after her parents' messy divorce.  This novel is full of barbed dialogue and hilarious, deadpan descriptions of family dynamics.
