Far Creek Road

“With the charming and very funny nine-year-old Tink, Krueger has created an unforgettable character whose innocent curiosity busts through the societal conventions of early 1960s Canada. This is a masterful depiction of an atmosphere tense with fear and fuelled by grown-up transgressions, where adult morality is contaminated by politics that tear communities apart.” — Sheila Murray, author of Finding Edward“The character of Tink is especially well-drawn as she observes much and understands little…This engrossing book sets the simplicity of friendship between two children against a framework of international politics.” — Historical Novel Society“Far Creek Road is a wonderfully written novel, with full and rich characters, a delightful narrator, and very much the adult version of those Judy Blume stories we loved as kids…The background politics are skillfully written in the way so many of us experienced the world as kids: these things were happening and leaked into our lives in ways we didn’t entirely understand. It was a treat to be able to kick off my reading year with Far Creek Road out of the gate.” — STARRED REVIEW, The Miramichi Reader
