In Listen, Honey, the tenth book by Shelley A. Leedahl, the western Canadian writer exposes the emotionally electric lives of men, women, and children with grit, humour, and tenderness. Familial and romantic relationships turn strange or go altogether awry, wild idiosyncrasies develop, and characters navigate their personal joys, ironies and crashing disasters with courage and grace. These finely crafted contemporary stories resonate with emotion, reject sentimentality, and, like life itself, are impossible to predict. Listen, Honey is an entertaining, thoughtful and downright sexy book.
