Late Nights on Air (McClelland & Stewart, 2007) by Elizabeth Hay
Late Nights on Air offers the story of an unforgettable cast of characters — outcasts working at a small CBC radio station in Yellowknife — set against the stunning backdrop of the Far North. It warmed the hearts of readers nation-wide, including Kitty Chavarie, who had this to say:
"A truly Canadian experience to read such a novel. As a person who moves books around by trading and sharing this is one that is mine and mine alone. Makes me wish I was a radio broadcaster with all these folks having this fresh new life."
Accolades: Late Nights on Air nabbed the coveted Scotibank Giller Prize and garnered rave reviews. The Toronto Star called it "Psychologically astute, richly rendered and deftly paced...a pleasure from start to finish."
I have to say, this was a really boring book. It was short but took forever to get through. I couldn't connect with any of the characters. Thumbs down.
