Canaries

"...She is not prepared to be Linda, but Linda will have to do... not the name she would have given herself... that name would have been Simone..." So begins Canaries. 35-year-old Linda is in the midst of a midlife crisis: a marriage disappearing, and a voice lost. Through a series of adventures, sexual and otherwise, from Death Valley to the Oscars, she realizes being voiceless - temporarily -- may not be as bad as it seems. Sly irony, compassionate details, and a dash of magical realism create a classic tale proving that finding oneself, one's voice, can be much more or much less than knowing one's correct name.
