Narration Toward Books Last Summer at Barebones

I can't believe that I haven't heard of Diane Baker Mason before I read this book. Mason is funny, intelligent, and quintessentially Canadian, and not in the way some people think of Canadian novelists (i.e., overly literary).

The main character Dee is a sensationalistic tabloid reporter who keeps to herself until her boss sends her down to Florida to interview the devilish conjoined twins Leeanne and Breeanne. While there, Dee decides to catch a stand-up comedy show, and sees again after many years her arch nemesis: her sister Theresa. While Dee follows Theresa around North America ("Oh, look! It's my stalker fan!"), we are treated to a routine of fat jokes and childhood taunts taken from their childhood.

Most of the novel is about their childhood summers at the Muskoka's Bare Bones Lake which sports the cool teen haunts, the local resort, Dee's nearsighted friend Richard, and the wonderful island with a cottage which their father adores and craves to own. Summers for Dee and Richard are full of plans to run away into the wilderness, but eventually a series of events change their families' summers, and lives, forever.

Column Based On Books Last Summer at Barebones

Another dysfunctional family! A Canadian author and set in cottage country in Ontario and the theme of the book reminded me strongly of Wally Lamb's "She's Come Undone". Not a bad book, but I guess I'm just tired of this dysfunctional theme.



Loved this book, as so many things in it resonated with me, and also the setting was close to home in a geographic area I am familiar with. So well written.

Took me a while to get into, but when I did I'm glad I finished it. Another dysfunctional family who'd rather whine & fight about their problems than try to solve them.

something darkly enthralling...like a car accident you can't stop looking at.

BORING - BORING - SO VERY BORING - COULD NOT BRING MYSELF TO FINISH IT AS I COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT THE MAIN CHARACTER OR WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.

The Story kept me interested. Disappointed in the ending. Characters are well portrayed. You want to reach out and hug the main character and give her a friend and you want to reach our and strangle her sister lol
