Description

Winner of the 2017 Scotiabank Giller Prize

Jean Mason has a doppelganger. She's never seen her, but others swear they have.

Others (noun): A peculiar collection of drug addicts, scam artists, philanthropists, philosophers, and vagrants—the regulars of Bellevue Square.

Jean lives in downtown Toronto with her husband and two kids. The proud owner of a thriving bookstore, she doesn't rattle easily—not like she used to. But after two of her customers insist they've seen her double, Jean decides to investigate. Curiosity grows to obsession and soon Jean's concerns shift from the identity of the woman, to her very own.

Funny, dark, and surprising, Bellevue Square takes readers down the existentialist rabbit hole and asks the question: what happens when the sense you've made of things stops making sense?
