One of America's most revered literary figures, Richard Ford has won both the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Canada follows the trajectory of a 16-year-old boy whose life takes a dark turn. When the youth's parents are jailed for robbing a bank, he is spirited away from his home in Great Falls, Montana, to a small town in Saskatchewan. Completely out of his element and reeling from this sudden twist of fate, the boy struggles to adjust—even as he faces unexpected violence.
