Her talkative new companions show her an extraordinary new world by the light of the moon. When the girl gets back in the morning, her grandmother seems neither alarmed or angry about the girl’s nighttime adventures.

Fred was arrested for assault with a weapon, public intoxication and attacking his mother while on drugs. Jeremy first went to court at age fourteen (“Court gives you the feeling that you can never make up for what you did, that you’re just bad forever”) but now wears a Native Rights hat to remind him of his strong Métis heritage.

Being lucky or unlucky after making a mistake. The encounter with a mean cop or a good one. Couch-surfing, or being shunted from one foster home to another. The kids in this book represent a range of socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations and ethnicities. Every story is different, but there are common threads — loss of parenting, dislocation, poverty, truancy, addiction, discrimination. The book also includes the points of view of family members as well as “voices of experience” — adults looking back at their own experiences as young offenders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of all, this book leaves readers asking the most pressing questions of all.

Me and some friends started fires in our town. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere were some caves in the areas I was living. We liked to explore the caves and we thought it would be great to have campfires there. We gathered up some branches off dead trees and made a fire and it was fine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe might have been okay if we’d left it there. I mean, we should have known more about fire safety, but I don’t think we were bothering anybody. But we decided to keep building fires and to build bigger ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s against the law to start fires like that. People caught on that it was us because we needed paper to build these fires. We would go to those free-newspaper and free-magazine stands and empty these out and run down the street with armloads of these things. It was a small town. People knew us, got to wondering what we were doing, put two and two together and called the police…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI got into more serious trouble in grade nine. I didn’t like school and skipped it all the time. This one day we skipped classes the whole day then came back into the school at the end of the day to catch the school bus home. We were walking through the halls, goofing around, and we walked right into the principal. We were high. The principal searched us, found our joints and rolling papers.…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat principal never liked me. The police didn’t charge us but the principal suspended us — two months! — for just that little bit of drugs. After the suspension was over, he said he didn’t want us back in his school.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e My parents split up when I was young. It was not a good break-up. Lots of yelling and fighting. It was bad. I went with Mom but she had a breakdown so I couldn’t stay with her. Dad couldn’t take me. He was breaking too under the strain of everything. He didn’t know how to care for me, or maybe he knew how but knew that he couldn’t, or maybe he just didn’t want to….\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I was sixteen I got charged with B and E. I got put on probation for a year and I had to spend a week in Open Custody. Open Custody was not really open because I couldn’t leave. They set the bedtime, and it was very early. You couldn’t use knives. They had very specific rules and if you broke one of those rules they wouldn’t let you play video games or go outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI did a lot more B and E’s than the one I was charged with.

I never thought I would get caught…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’ve been in five foster homes. My foster mom, the one I have now, says I can stay with her even after I turn eighteen.

Her partner, Mathieu, has no idea how to be, and the police officer Guillaume no idea what he wants. So begins a story of messy relationships wrested against the odds from the detritus of failed marriages, the demands of professional lives, and the pull of the internet and its false messages of perfection. With an assiduous eye that is both clinical and sympathetic, Bismuth’s elegant and highly readable novel captures the alienating nature of contemporary life and sheds light on this, our strange new world full of unrequited yearning in a sea of seeming plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781487007041","excerpt_0":"https:\/\/biblioshare.org\/BNCservices\/BNCServices.asmx\/Samples?token=fcf85c1c1b298e99\u0026amp;ean=9781487007041\u0026amp;SAN=\u0026amp;Perspective=excerpt\u0026amp;FileNumber=0","Height":"8","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"Arachnide Editions","MetaKeywords":"infidelity; Autopsy of a Boring Wife; Middle class malaise; hunting houses; satirical domestic; Mrs. Fletcher; Tom Perrotta; Big Little Lies; Mating in Captivity; Esther Perel; State of Affairs; social media influencers; midlife online dating; Is There Still Sex in the City; OKCupid; Match.com; Fleishman is in Trouble; Taffy Brodesser-Akner; Cheater; Interior design; kitchen; betrayal; motherhood; love triangle; book club; canlit; francophone; humour; combats de livre; The Corrections","NumberOfPages":"320","OtherText_Review_0":"\u003cp\u003e“The author who accustomed us to the lies and neuroses of young adults now leads us into the world of forty-somethings, in which infidelity must somehow be managed in lives weighed down by work, shared custody, and hours online … Despite a generous helping of Bismuth’s typically dark humour, a disturbing melancholy permeates A Family Affair.” — \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLa Presse\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"La Presse","OtherText_Review_1":"\u003cp\u003e“A page-turner.
