The Erratics by Vicki Laveau-Harvie

4.0

Despite the fact that their parents have disinherited them, Vicki Laveau-Harvie and her sister travel to rural Canada to care for their father, when their mother breaks her hip. This is a true story of a complicated family; the far-reaching, and long-lasting havoc wreaked by a woman with an undiagnosed mental illness, the wild Canadian landscape, and two, very different sisters trying to navigate new and rocky territory. The author reads it herself, and while, at first, I wasn't sure she had the best 'audiobook voice', I think she did a brilliant job. For such dark subject matter, the book is very funny, disturbing, tense, and utterly fascinating.
