The Art of Getting Lost and Found
Both Maggie and Shorty are compelling protagonists...easy to empathize with them and feel their emotions. I was rooting for each of them on their journey and watching both grow throughout the story was rewarding.
The ending chapters hit me hard, leaving me shocked, amazed and moved by the result of the main characters’ journeys. ...
This is a moving and well-written debut novel by Turnbull. I would recommend it to those who like stories about women, those who like books that take you on a journey and those looking for stories set in Canada.

Best Canadian Stories 2025 exceeded my expectations and is about as solid as short story collections get... “Because We Buy Oat Milk,” by Okanagan artist Glenna Turnbull feels like what Lucy Ellis’ Ducks, Newburyport was striving for—there is a distinct sense of domestic overwhelm and tangential insertions that make for a frenetic, yet immersive reading experience.
