About this ebook
“An immaculately constructed page-turner that is also, miraculously, a redemptive meditation on loneliness and community” (Carrie Snyder, author of Girl Runner).
The inhabitants of Edgewood Drive in the small Canadian town of Parkville seem to live simple, peaceful lives, but as the children attend elementary school and the senior ladies play Leisure League hockey, secrets and hardships and menaces lurk not far from the surface. This suspenseful novel takes us into a community and reveals the life and happiness—as well as the fear and sorrow—of those who call it home.
“Interference is a terrific page-turner, but it’s also a haunting, powerful look at the way families and friendships entangle us all. Berry is a sharp-eyed, engaging writer, and she deftly captures the terrors, ruptures and intimacies of one seemingly ordinary neighborhood, always finding a precarious beauty in her characters’ lives. This is a book that is terrifying, startling, and very hard to put down.” —Rebecca Godfrey, author of Under the Bridge
“Interference is tightly plotted and neatly executed, very nearly perfectly paced, and satisfyingly complex—but it is also escapism in its purest form, and a sheer delight to read.” —The Winnipeg Review

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Life is like that - no one helps anyone out ahead of time but everyone seems ready to give advice after. To chide you. Laugh at your mistakes. Page 47In a small Canadian town, life is busily filled with the simple acts that make up our days. Interspersed are the large events that make the small, easily ignored things insignificant in comparison and yet life is a convoluted mixture of both, moments we forget and moments that will change our lives forever. Interference is a story of multiple lives, failed marriages, the drama of navigating the teenage years, coping with cancer, the relationships between strangers, friends, lovers and community. The myriad of storylines converge to highlight the simple fact that living, that merely existing, is a messy business by nature. An enjoyable read that reflected the realness of being human and the importance of relationships in shaping and defining our lives.
