Garbo Laughs
Summary
A novel about love, set in Ottawa in the 1990s, it is the quixotic tale of tall, thin Harriet Browning, inflamed by the movies she was deprived of as a child. Bent on seeing everything she has missed, she rapidly becomes so saturated with old movies, seen repeatedly and swallowed whole, that she no longer fits into this world. What hope does real love have when movie love, in all its brief intensity, is an easy option?
