My debut novel In a Wide Country is available here and here.
Praise for In a Wide Country:
One of my 2017 favourites. This story of a 12-year-old boy’s road trip with his glamorous, complicated mother, Corinne, is artful, precise and original, with much at stake and a treasure hoard of emotional truth. Reading it caused me exquisite pain, as when a cat pads over my heart, all silk but for those not-quite-retracted claws…– Kathleen Winter, Montreal Gazette
Funny, horrifying, enraging and moving, sometimes all at once. – The Toronto Star
A first novel without a single misstep… convincingly evoking a bygone era with a realism whose fit and finish recalls masters like Alice Munro and Russell Banks. – Montreal Review of Books
In a Wide Country is one of those novels I read in one sitting. I had to find out what happened to the boy and his grifter mother going AWOL in a white Corvair. Seductive, gripping. – Susan Swan
Grips the heartache and thrill of a child’s attempt at understanding… an ultimately tender novel. – The Globe and Mail
It’s been a long time since I have enjoyed a novel so much, a first novel at that… With his raw and credible characters and his spectacularly fine writing, Robert Everett-Green has give us a book for the ages. – Sheila Fischman
For anyone who enjoys a good story. The characters are vivid, the writing is beautiful, and it has a really interesting exploration of the role stories play in our lives and the way we create our own origin stories. …I would love to see a movie of this book. –Angie Abdou, CBC Radio Daybreak
A satisfying read and a strong debut… charming and thoughtful. – The Winnipeg Review
