Reviews

A satisfying novel

"A witty story about recovery from a life tragedy and a reaffiramtion that unexpected encounter can have a profound efffect on one's outlife on life."

Ron H. (5/5)

Give it a miss

"I have enjoyed previous books of Terry Fallis's but not this one. I almost gave up on it half-way through waiting for something that wasn't romantic movie-of-the-week, saccharine and predictable to happen, but I always like to give a book a complete read in case it redeems itself. This one never did. I stuck with it, hoping there was some kind of twist coming that would excuse the happy-wappy storyline and oh-so-perfect characters and their oh-so-perfect relationships. It never came. I admit to skipping almost all of the ending because I just wanted it to be over, and I couldn't believe such a poorly plotted book had been published by a reputable publisher or that the editor hadn't crossed out a few dozen of the ""you knows"" which were supposed to indicate humour. Very disappointed in this one."

Seraphine (1/5)

A Good Heatwarming Read

"Another good book club selection from our group. Good Canadian author and a warm story set between Canada and Canada."

C B. (5/5)

A Canadian in Paris

"I enjoyed the setting because I love hockey, Paris, literature, love, and all things French! I also recently met Jim and Devin Cuddy so I had a lot with which to connect in this offering."

Violet T. (4/5)

Misnomer

"Misleading: The bio suggests a story about 1920's Paris and its literary alumni, with a grief subplot. What it is: a fictional account about death of a lifetime partnership with a nice clean, ""all's well that ends well"" conclusion that is 98% Harlequin Romance (with all due respect to those novel that are what they purport to be),. A New Season, neither reflects 1920's Paris -maybe 6 pages are about that era, and the remaining pages, a fanciful, imaginative and while not impossible, most implausible story. Usually, I enjoy the implausible but possible endings in Fallis' work but this book felt more like misrepresentation. I'm still waiting for the original story idea which would have been interesting. As well, the story about male friendship held promise and offered the most depth and nuance. So disappointed- suggest remarketing."

Athena (1/5)

A Love Story from Terry Fallis

"Another novel from Terry Fallis in a totally different vein. It is an easy conversational writing style. This is about personal loss, the importance of friendship and new relationships. It has moments of humour and also evokes emotional responses. I really enjoyed it but then I like Terry’s writing."

Marilyn (5/5)

Toronto to Paris and back

"A beautiful story of love and loss and finding a new way forward. I could identify with the characters and the Toronto/Paris settings."

Avid R. (4/5)

It’s Never too Late

"A heartwarming story about aging, starting over, and fulfilling the dreams of your youth. The wonderful descriptions of Paris will make you want to start planning your visit soon."

Clara (5/5)

Favorite Author

"Christmas gift for my wife. She loves Terry's books and this one is no different."

B. R. (5/5)

A disappointment with this one

"First time disappointed with a Fallis book. I have always looked forward to reading anything by him and they have always been page turners and filled with the unexpected. But maybe because it was a main character change and the connections were, well, weird? Don’t know for sure…. . The story moved very slowly and I found myself skipping big chunks of the text."

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

"It’s about grief, friendship, family and, most of all, love, with humour taking a backseat for a change. And because of the warmth of the characters, the Parisian locale and a few twists of fate, Fallis’s foray into more serious content succeeds."”
Winnipeg Free Press

"More than a love story, this was a love song in novel format. . . . This book is sentimental, relatable with Canadian layers and some Paris filling to make it sweeter. . . . As we age, while we grow, Fallis teaches us to live."
—Miramichi Reader

Praise for Terry Fallis:

"Terry Fallis writes just about the tidiest romantic comedic novels you can find on Earth, let alone in Canada."
Globe and Mail

"Not too many Canucks have ventured to write humorous books. There is Stephen Leacock, of course. And Robertson Davies cranked out a couple . . . Count Terry Fallis among the few to achieve success at the form."
Ottawa Citizen

"One of CanLit's crowned king of chuckles . . . Fallis is a gifted storyteller."
Telegraph-Journal

"Terry Fallis is a brilliant and very funny writer who also understands the human heart. His words will split your side on one page, and put a lump in your throat the next. You'll not only come to like his quirky characters, you'll want to meet them, and take care of them, too. Terry Fallis is a writer to watch, and more importantly, to read."
—Ali Velshi, NBC News

"Fallis writes from another time, when Wodehouse and Leacock and Twain roamed the earth. May he never become extinct."
—Linwood Barclay
TERRY FALLIS grew up in Toronto and earned an engineering degree from McMaster University. Drawn to politics at an early age, he worked for cabinet ministers in Ottawa and at Queen’s Park. His first novel, The Best Laid Plans, began as a podcast, then was self-published, won the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour, was re-published by McClelland & Stewart to great reviews, was crowned the 2011 winner of CBC’s Canada Reads as “the essential Canadian novel of the decade,” and was adapted as a CBC Television series and a stage musical. His next two novels, The High Road and Up and Down were finalists for the Leacock Medal, and in 2015, he won the prize a second time, for his fourth book, No Relation. His other novels include Poles Apart, One Brother Shy, Albatross, and Operation Angus, and were all national bestsellers. A skilled public speaker, he lives in Toronto with his wife, and blogs at www.terryfallis.com. Follow @TerryFallis on Twitter and subscribe to his newsletter at https://terryfallis.substack.com.
