Rocket Science

S. K. Page

Rocket Science by Julia Gaunce (Pedlar Press) is a wonderful first novel that should get great notices. Here is a true enactment of a certain Canadian life: Mr. Wicker is the caretaker of the apartment building; Mrs. Wicker attends leather-craft classes; a young Vicki Wicker investigates the world; Peach the grandmother surveys the scene through a hazy screen. The book grows around you: when I went back to it I discovered that my memory had given alternative futures to these characters without my realizing it. Highly recommended.
