À propos de cet audio

A number-one Indie best seller and a Canadian best seller for 22 weeks, the brilliant latest novel from one of Canada’s foremost authors

Inspired by a handful of postcards sent nearly a hundred years ago, Bird and Mimi attempt to trace long-lost uncle Leroy and the family medicine bundle he took with him to Europe.

“I’m sweaty and sticky. My ears are still popping from the descent into Vaclav Havel. My sinuses ache. My stomach is upset. My mouth is a sewer. I roll over and bury my face in a pillow. Mimi snuggles down beside me with no regard for my distress.

‘My god,’ she whispers, ‘can it get any better?’

By turns witty, sly, and poignant, this is the unforgettable tale of one couple’s holiday in Europe, where their wanderings through its famous capitals reveal a complicated history, both personal and political.

The only thing I was disappointed with was that it ended! Thomas King is my favourite author and I loved his latest book. It was funny, made me laugh, very relevant, relatable, made me sad and gave me hope. Loved the characters and the demons! Only question is when does the next one come out!!!

Another one!!

It was a lovely story. Comical, humourous, raw and open reflection of human conditions. I loved Mimi's personality in the book. She lights up the world just by being herself.

Super Cute Book

long story short it's just kind of boring.

two first Nations people go on vacation to Europe ostensibly to look for a long lost relative. The narrative switches between their current vacation in Prague and pass events from the the protagonist childhood and some earlier vacations.

I really wanted to like this book I kind of like the idea of the author. I was hoping for more humor, there was no humor. there's a little bit of social commentary. I grew to like the characters, but the story never really went anywhere.

FANTASTIC

Aging, coupledom, travel, identity formation and identity politics. indigeneity made obvious and so subtle at the same time. King, as usual, is the Trickster. laugh, cry, squirm.

I enjoyed the Canadian perspective on this journey to Prague. After thoroughly enjoying the booklet, the only unexpected disappointment was the abrupt ending.

Witty Travelogue with a Canadian Twist

This was a great book. It was light, funny and the characters reminded me of very real people- myself at times! It is a relaxing and entertaining novel.

I love that thos book deals with mental health struggles in such a creative way. Really inspirational learning how main character deals with these issues. Characters have depth and narrator does a great job of telling the story. I highly recommend!

Amusing Story Humorous and Serious
