Canadian Book Review ~ The Fun Times Brigade by Lindsay Zier-Vogel

Happy publication to Lindsay Zier-Vogel’s The Fun Times Brigade (Book*hug Press)!

About The Fun Times Brigade:

Named one of the Toronto Star’s 25 Books-To-Read-In-2025 and one of CBC Top Fiction Books to Read this Spring, The Fun Times Brigade is an insightful and heart-rending exploration of motherhood, grief, and the search for identity. Following Amy, a seemingly successful children’s musician, Zier-Vogel examines the enduring challenges of reconciling being an artist with being a mother, and how we ultimately fail and find the need to forgive those we love. It is also a timely reflection on what it really means to have a good life in a world that demands we have—and be—it all, and asserts that amidst the chaos, we can find our way back to our genuine selves.

The Fun Times Brigade is available wherever books are bought or borrowed.
