Winner of the Gold Medal for Western Canadian Fiction at the 2012
Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards "Cadillac Couches" is a
picaresque road trip novel that journeys from prairie to big city
and back again. A quixotic tale set in the late nineties and framed
by the popular Edmonton Folk Music Festival, it follows two
music-smitten twentysomething women as they search for love and
purpose. Annie Jones is trying to put her big love, Sullivan,
behind her and squash her demons of anxiety and compulsion. In a
post-fest funk, she and her more worldly sidekick Isobel jump in
Annie's 1972 Volkswagen Beetle and race across the country to
Montreal where her real-life fantasy man, Hawksley Workman, is
doing a gig. A year later Annie and Isobel end up back at the folk
festival, this time in a much different position.A witty first
novel, "Cadillac Couches" is a story about finding one's holy grail
in life. The book comes with its own playlist.
