Life in Winnipeg hasn’t worked out so well for Knute and her daughter. But living with her parents back in her hometown of Algren and working for the longtime mayor, Hosea Funk, has its own challenges. Knute finds herself mixed up in Hosea’s attempts to achieve his dream of meeting the Prime Minister – even though that means keeping the town’s population at an even 1500. It’s not an easy task, with citizens threatening to move back, and one Algrenian on the verge of giving birth to twins – or possibly triplets.Full of humour and larger-than-life characters, A Boy of Good Breeding is a warm-hearted novel about families that have been split up but are inexorably drawn back together.
