Liars
Back-country innocent, George Orr agrees to risk imprisonment to help old friends of his father commit a 'symbolic' crime against the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
Set in 1951, the plan is to rob the holiday shipment of liquor bound for an LCBO store near their homes on Manitoulin Island at the top of Lake Huron.
Initially motivated by a chance to learn to drive, George becomes a wanted felon, upright businessman, a romantic and a charming liar.
Laced with subtle humor and tender characterization, the novel explores repressive social practices, long-accepted prejudice, small town behavior and the fine art of prevarication.
