cover blurb:
"Hattie is living in Paris, city of romance, but has just been dumped by her boyfriend. Min, her sister back in Canada, is going through a particularly dark period. And Min's two kids, Logan and Thebes, are not talking and talking way too much, respectively.
So when Hattie reveives a phone call in the middle of the night from eleven-year-old Thebes, begging her to return to Canada and help sort out their family, she knows she has to go. When Hattie arrives home, Min is on her way to a psychiatric ward, and Hattie becomes responsible for her niece and nephew. She quickly realises that she is way out of her depth, and hatches a plan to find the kids' long lost father. With only the most tenuous lead to go on, she piles Logan and Thebes into the family van, and they head south."

This was a great read!
I so much loved this story, even though it was sad sometimes and also makes you thinking... but there were also funny parts and the story is well-written and I liked all of them so much! Sometimes it felt as if I was sitting with them in that car and listening to these firing questions of Thebes ...
I also liked the open ending and I have to admit it was a little shock for me during Hettie's last phone call at the hospital. But then I really loved the last pages and what she said to Logan.
This is a great book!!!

Now the Troutmans are off to visit the winner of the International Canadian Sweepstake and I hope she will enjoy The Flying Troutmans as much as I did. :) congrats!

Thanks for this Mary-T - it looks like an interesting read and I've not heard of this author until today, so thanks! It will have to sit on Mt TBR for a little while but I look forward to giving this a go :D
