Selected by Indie Booksellers for the June 2009 Indie Next List“Last Night in Montreal is a rare achievement, a gripping, mysterious, and original literary novel about family secrets and the unbearable weight they place on young shoulders. Emily St. John Mandel is a wonderful and refreshingly unorthodox writer, and this should be the start of a brilliant career.”
-- Rich Rennicks, Malaprop's Bookstore/Cafe, Asheville, NC
Description
