Ann Ireland is the past president of PEN Canada
She won the Seal $50,000 First Novel Award, and her work has been shortlisted for several other prizes, including the Governor General's Award for Fiction, the Rogers/Writers Trust Award for Fiction and the Ontario Trillium Award.
This book juxtaposes the artificiality and luxury of tourist resorts in Mexico with the activities of the drug cartels. Think a lighter Elmore Leonard.
Ireland interviewed many locals as part of her research for this book to get a sense of how Mexican citizens live between these two extremes and try to make things better.
