The book ends, as it begins - sharply, with tacit acknowledgement that anger and feelings of helplessness have a large part to play in love and death.","OtherText_Review_13_Src":"Toronto Star","OtherText_Review_14":"The Spare Room is a brilliant success...Garner never lets up on the intensity, never backs off from her close-up on the intimate elemental conflict at the novel's core. Indeed, she ratchets it to a near-operatic peak no less searing for occasional doses of mordant humour...She's not interested in handy resolutions or any conventional notion of closure, perhaps because she knows - and gives her readers credit for knowing - that life itself rarely works that way.

In “Little to Lose,” a son confronts his mother over the crushing prison of debt created by her gambling addiction. The aging divorcee in “Coming and Going” spends her days in paranoid pursuit of evidence with which to incriminate her neighbours in the derelict trailer park where she lives.
