THE BITTLEMORES - Jann Arden

~ Standard Hardcover

~ New Release - 2023

Marking Jann Arden's first foray into fiction, The Bittlemores looks into how people can come to be so cruel while simultaneously celebrating the miracle of human kindness . . . 

Full of Arden's down-to-earth wisdom and outrageous humour, The Bittlemores is a rural fairytale, a coming-of-age story, and a prairie mystery all in one, saturated with her observations of the world she grew up in and her deep connection to the animals she loves.  

“Arden’s take on poverty, alcoholism and the long-term impact of neglect, isolation and abuse occasionally recalls the work of Southern Gothic writer Flannery O’Connor or New Brunswick’s David Adams Richards.” -- Calgary Herald
