poor ginger coffey. the guy just can't get a break. he immigrates from ireland to canada with his small family in hopes of a better life and ends up with a shitty job, a tiny apartment and a wife who leaves him for their only friend in montreal. despite his inumberable obstacles and hardships, ginger's optimism rarely wanes and is the impetus for the novel, propelling the title protagonist ever forward.
this book won the governor general's award in 1960. it was a quick read.
