Last Resort

"Last Resort" is a touching, funny, evocative memoir of a tumultuous journey to adulthood. Linwood Barclay vividly recalls the summers of his youth: the ardent romances, early-morning fishing expeditions, competitive male diversions, and curious cottage-country characters. From behind the funny stories there emerges a family chronicle that soars on its own strange trajectory, through and triumph, to a poignant conclusion. Linwood Barclay is staff columnist for the Toronto Star, writing three times a week. He lives in Burlington, with his wife , Neetha, and two children, Spencer and Paige.
