Stunt — Claudia Dey

Nominated for the Amazon.ca First Novel Award!

When Eugenia Ledoux and her sister Immaculata are abandoned by their parents, they double in age overnight. Eugenia devotes herself to finding her father Sheb. She writes to the man she believes to be Sheb's father: I.I. Finbar Me The Three, a retired tightrope walker. When Finbar writes back, Eugenia wonders if she will find what she is looking for -- or something else entirely. Studded with postcards from outer space, twins, levitation and the explosion of a shoulder-pad factory, Stunt is part dirge, part cowboy poetry and part love letter to the wilder corners of Toronto and of ourselves.
