Nights Below Station Street

Set in a small mill town in northern New Brunswick, Nights Below Station Streetdraws us into the lives of a community of people who live there, includingJoe Walsh, isolated and strong in the face of a drinking problem; his wife, Rita, willing to believe the best about people; and their teenage daughter Adele, whose nature is rebellious and wise, and whose love for her father wars with her desire for independence. Richards' unforgettable characters are linked together in conflict, and in articulate love and understanding. Their plight as human beings is one we share. (From Emblem Editions)

Nights Below Station Street won the Governor General's Literary Award for fiction in 1988.
