Description

This newest book from Scotiabank Giller Prize-Winner Linden MacIntyre, Why Men Lie, provides a psychologically complicated and moving summary for the Cape Breton trilogy.  Two decades following the events of The Bishop’s Guy, we’re launched to Effie MacAskill Gillis, sibling of the struggling priest Duncan. It’s 1997, and Effie is definitely an independent, middle aged lady working as a tenured teacher of Celtic Studies, but her complex and frequently unsatisfactory love-life has left her all but prepared to give up the alternative gender. Then abruptly, an opportunity encounter with a guy on the Toronto subway system provides Effie restored desire.
