Books by Mary Burns

The third in a trilogy that began with Shinny's Girls (Talon, 1989), and continued with Flashing Yellow (Turnstone, 2001), You Again brings to a crescendo the eccentric family saga of a single mother and her three daughters by three different fathers. What makes us who we are? This question thrums in the background as grandson Matthew tries to escape an identity theft scam, and daughter Elfie's pregnancy forces Shinny to reveal a long held secret. Praise for the Shinny's Girls novels:""I really liked Shinny. I was absorbed. You get a wonderful sense of the reality of these people."" Peter Gzowski, CBC Radio""Superb... The whole life of an uncommon woman."" Books in Canada""Elegantly captures the remarkable way in which Family has been redefined in the 21st century in North America."" Julie Cruikshank, author of Do Glaciers Listen?
