From the Publisher
In this gritty first novel by Stacey May Fowles, a group of
Canadian twenty-somethings wrestle with sex, love, and lies. Each
character has a distinct persona made of secrets and deceptions,
which is shattered by the end of the book. Set against the acutely
drawn urban landscapes of Montreal and Vancouver, Morgan and Hannah
struggle to navigate the maze of love affairs, failed
relationships, obsessions, and departures from the familiar.
Deftly shifting perspective from the innocent and idealistic
Hannah to the streetwise and damaged Morgan, to their friends and
the men in their lives, Be Good eloquently exposes the lies we tell
ourselves and others in order to cope with life and reveals the
ongoing alienation and isolation of a world where the only reliable
narrator is the future.
