Snow Road Station: A New Yorker best book by an award-winning author

________________________________________________________________
A pitch-perfect story of love and female friendship from the Giller prize-winning author of Late Nights on Air.
In the winter of 2008, as snow falls without interruption, an actor in a Beckett play blanks on her lines. Fleeing the theatre, she beats a retreat to Snow Road Station - a barely discernible dot on the map of Ontario.
Lulu Blake, sexy and seemingly unfooled, is now in her sixties. Out of work, humiliated, she enters the last act of her life wondering what she can make of her diminished self. She believes she is through with theatre and drama - but drama is not through with her.
At the centre of the novel is the relationship between Lulu and her lifelong friend Nan. As the two women contemplate growing older, they surrender certain hard-held dreams and confront the limits of the choices they have made.
