      About This Book

      Broke
      City      , the final book in Wendy McGrath's Santa Rosa trilogy, follows
      young Christine as she edges into self-awareness in the now-vanished Edmonton
      neighbourhood of Santa Rosa.

      Budding with creativity
      that her working-class parents do not understand, Christine questions her
      parents' fraught relationship, with alcoholism and implicit violence bubbling
      just under the surface of their marriage. Her insight turns beyond her family
      to her neighbourhood, nicknamed Packingtown, a community built on meat-packing
      plants and abattoirs, on death.

      Written with tight
      lyricism, Broke City is a brimming working-class gothic
      novel that reveals Christine's deepening knowledge of the adult world around
      her and of her own complicated place in that world.
