<p>After twenty years Max Binder is still in love with his fiery wife, Maggie, and is determined to get her the perfect fortieth birthday gift. But Maxâs singular desire â to make his wife happy â leads to an unexpected event that changes the course of his familyâs life and touches the people who make up their western prairie city.</p> <p> Set over the course of a single year, <em>Once More With Feeling</em> tells the story of this city that is bisected by railway lines and rivers, and connected by boulevards and back alleys, through intersecting moments and interconnected lives. The colourful citizens who make up the community are marked by transformation, upheaval, and loss: the worker at a downtown soup kitchen who recognizes a kindred spirit amongst the homeless; the aging sisters who everywhere see the fleeting ghosts of two missing neighbourhood children; a communal voice of mothers anxious for the future of their children in the discomfiting world they inhabit â this place of memory and amnesia, longing and belonging.</p> <p>Featuring a cast of eclectic characters, <em>Once More With Feeling</em> is about a community, about a family, and about the way time makes fond fools of us all. Award-winning author Méira Cook has crafted a novel that is at once funny, poignant, and yes, full of feeling.</p> - Perseus Publishing
