β¦ Synopsis
Wildly funny and wonderfully moving, Bad Ideas is about just that β a string of bad ideas β and the absurdity of loveβ©β©Trudy works nights in a linen factory, avoiding romance and sharing the care of her four-year-old niece with Trudyβs mother, Claire. Claire still pines for Trudyβs father, a St. Lawrence Seaway construction worker who left her twenty years ago. Claire believes in true love. Trudy does not. Sheβs keeping herself to herself. But when Jules Tremblay, aspiring daredevil, walks into the Jubilee restaurant, Trudyβs a goner.β©β©Loosely inspired by Ken βthe Crazy Canuckβ Carterβs attempt to jump the St. Lawrence River in a rocket car, and set in a 1970s hollowed-out town in eastern Ontario, Bad Ideas paints an indelible portrait of people on the forgotten fringes of life. Witty and wise, this is a novel that will stay with you a long time.
