Emily via the Greyhound Bus
Allison Kydd *Shortlisted for the 2013 Saskatchewan Book Award for First Book
Emily is on a bus, nauseous, and reflecting on her past life — on jobs she has worked, relationships she has had, and what has shaped her as a woman. Years of making the wrong choices, especially with men, and memories of children she couldn’t keep have left her confidence shaken. As the bus rolls west from Toronto across the prairies, without much money and not even a suitcase, Emily becomes determined to rise above becoming the stereotype of a tragic figure.
