On Thursday, September 20, our Saskatoon store hosted the official launch of Alice Kuipers' Life on the Refrigerator Door.

Originally from London, Alice currently lives and writes in Saskatoon. The local literary community was out in full force to support Alice and help her launch Life on the Refrigerator Door, her first novel, which is gaining buzz around the world and has been sold in 21 countries.

Life on the Refrigerator Door is a poignant and deeply moving first novel about the bonds of love and frustration that tie mothers and daughters together. Told entirely in a series of notes left on the kitchen fridge—some casual, some intimate, some funny, some angry—it is the story of nine months in the life of 15-year-old Claire and her single mother. Preoccupied with their busy separate lives, rarely in the same room at the same time, they talk to each other in a series of short snippets that reflect the daily drama of school, boyfriends, work and chores that make up their days. Yet the mundane soon becomes extraordinary when a crisis overtakes their lives—a momentous change that will redefine their relationship and unfold in their exchanges on the refrigerator door.

Signed copies of Life on the Refrigerator Door are available on our Coming Events wall for a limited time.
