Description
Sunday's Child launched Edward O. Phillips' writing career and established the figure of Geoffry Chadwick in Canadian literature. An ill-conceived pick-up of a hustler on new Year's Eve and a moment of fury lead to grave consequences, forcing Chadwick to maintain a brittle veneer of normalcy while he conducts seriously unpleasant business.
About the author
Edward O. Phillips is the author of many short stories and ten previous novels, of which A Voyage on Sunday is the most recent. Best known for his Sunday mysteries, Phillips also writes the occasional chocolate box novel, which takes the form of a comedy of manners. He has won the Arthur Ellis Award (for Buried on Sunday and Sunday's Child) and is a natural, one day, to receive the Leacock medallion for humour. Edward lives in Montreal, where he was born and where he grew up.
