A Canadian Contemporary Novel of Nova Scotia, Adolescent Grief, and Digital Preservation

In the small coastal town of Malagash, Nova Scotia, teenager Sunday and her family spend the summer caring for her father, who is in the final stages of terminal throat cancer.

Refusing to let her father's memory fade, Sunday uses a hidden digital audio recorder to secretly capture his vocal rasps, bedside conversations, and family stories. She plans to program a self-replicating computer virus loaded with his voice files to infect global hard drives, ensuring his immortality.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Joey Comeau crafts a tender, darkly funny contemporary Canadian novel exploring teenage grief and sibling bonds. A great fit for readers of Miriam Toews, Jeff Lemire, and Patrick deWitt.
