β¦ Synopsis
Longlisted for the 2024 Giller Prize**
**
Short stories about disparate characters consider what it means to find happiness.
On New Year's Eve, a pair of addicts robs a string of high-end parties in order to fund their own recovery. A recently separated woman relocates to a small northern town, where she receives a life-changing visitation, and a Russian hitman, suffering from a mysterious lung ailment, retrieves long-buried memories of his past. In the nineteenth century, a disparate group of women coalesce in the attempt to aid a young girl in her escape from a hospital for the insane. These are but some of the remarkable characters who populate these stories, all of them grappling with conflicts ranging from mundane to extraordinary. Caroline Adderson's A Way to Be Happy considers what it means to find happiness--and how often it comes through the grace of others.
