A delightful read that’ll have you smiling one moment, crying the next, then giggling through your tears, but a hard read, too, in the best way. Bobbi French doesn’t shy away from the heartbreaking realities of life, while gently reminding us of the power of connection.<\/p>\n I blazed through the pages of this book, choosing it over my favourite shows, over sleep, often thinking about the next chance I’d have to visit its pages and carving in short moments throughout my day to make sure I did. Perfect for fans of Ethan Joella, this book is a joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Georgia Toews, author of Nobody Asked for This<\/em><\/p>\n Betsy Lerner, author of Shred Sisters<\/em><\/p>\n![](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/standard.png\")

“Bobbi French\u2019s The Brink of Something Beautiful is a massively tender, heart pounding take on family, gender-based violence, and the messiness of love. It\u2019s about mothers, lovers, friends, the spectacular failings of the child welfare system; about survival and how even the smallest kindnesses can cause people to step away from the brink toward something beautiful. I cannot think of the last time I\u2019ve read such a multi-faceted evocation of what it means to love with everything you\u2019ve got, despite all the risks. It\u2019s clear-eyed, unsentimental, honest and wise. But bring the tissues. This will be the best book you read this year, and for a long time afterward!\u201d <\/div>\n<\/li>\nVirginia Evans<\/h3>\n
\u201cThis book is an anthem of women: women in strength, women in crisis, women in grief, women in love and most powerfully, women in solidarity with each other. Beautiful, thoughtful, layered. Brava, Bobbi French!\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\nJane Doucet<\/h3>\n
\u201cIn Bobbi French\u2019s second novel, women face complicated choices and their often catastrophic consequences. The Brink of Something Beautiful is a heart-wrenching, yet heartwarming, ode to the brave women who battle stormy waters and find ways to make it safely to the other side. French\u2019s trademark powerful, lyrical storytelling is at play once again.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\nCharlene Carr<\/h3>\n
\nGeorgia Toews<\/h3>\n
\u201cThis is not a story of heroines or saints, but of women as they truly are; flawed, funny, tender and tough. Between laughter and loss, between what’s said and swallowed, French finds the extraordinary in the ordinary. This book is a triumph of resilience and realism, and a necessary reminder of how remarkable the power every “ordinary” woman has.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\nBetsy Lerner<\/h3>\n
“We meet Ruby Nolan on the day of her husband\u2019s funeral. What unfolds in this beautifully rendered novel is a portrait of a complicated woman caught between grief and freedom, duty and desire. Bobbi French understands the human heart.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Books-for-Website-GWOSH-asm.png\")
