In Don Gillmor's comedic new novel about a troubled marriage in our monetarily troubled times, the financial delusions of the middle class run smack into the orchestrators of our financial collapse.

DON GILLMOR is the author of the bestselling, award-winning two-volumeCanada: A People's History, and two other books of non-fiction. His debut novel, Kanata,was published to critical acclaim, and his second novel, Mount Pleasant, published in 2013, was a national bestseller. Another groundbreaker for Gillmor, it was described by the Toronto Star as "a near-perfect satire of the faltering lives of Toronto's no-longer-young yuppies. Funny to the point it hurts, because it's all so true." Gillmor has also written nine books for children, two of which were nominated for a Governor General's Literary Award, and he is one of Canada's most accomplished journalists. He lives in Toronto with his wife and two children.
