The Prairie Chicken dance troupe is all set for a fifteen-day trek through Europe, performing at festivals and cultural events. But then the performers all come down with the flu. And John Greyeyes, a retired cowboy who hasn't danced in fifteen years, finds himself abruptly thrust into the position of leading a hastily-assembled group of replacement dancers.\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\u003cp\u003eA group of expert dancers they are not. There's a middle-aged woman with advanced arthritis, her nineteen-year-old niece who is far more interested in flirtations than pow-wow, and an enigmatic man from the U.S. -- all being chased by Nadine, the organizer of the original tour who is determined to be a part of the action, and the handsome man she picked up in a gas-station bathroom. They're all looking to John, who has never left the continent, to guide them through a world that he knows nothing about. As the gang makes its way from one stop to another, absolutely nothing goes as planned and the tour becomes a string of madcap adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Prairie Chicken Dance Tour\u003c\/i\u003e is loosely based -- like, hospital-gown loose -- on the true story of a group of Indigenous dancers who left Saskatchewan and toured through Europe in the 1970s. Dawn Dumont brings her signature razor-sharp wit and impeccable comedic timing to this hilarious, warm, and wildly entertaining novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46278283919570,"sku":"9781988298870","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":46278283952338,"sku":"c9516635-1e45-3a7c-bafb-aead3eed6d62","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_1d0ec5ce-3271-4dfc-815a-677d1b062d2d.jpg?v=1762901199","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/the-prairie-chicken-dance-tour","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
