520    "A poignant, multi-voiced novel about life in the inner 
       city. Scarborough is a low-income, culturally diverse 
       neighbourhood east of Toronto, the fourth largest city in 
       North America; like many inner-city communities, it 
       suffers under the weight of poverty, drugs, crime, and 
       urban blight. Scarborough the novel employs a multitude of
       voices to tell the story of a tight-knit neighbourhood 
       under fire: among them, Victor, a black artist harassed by
       the police; Winsum, a West Indian restaurant owner 
       struggling to keep it together; and Hina, a Muslim school 
       worker who witnesses first-hand the impact of poverty on 
       education. And then there are the three kids who work to 
       rise above a system that consistently fails them: Bing, a 
       gay Filipino boy who lives under the shadow of his 
       father's mental illness; Sylvie, Bing's best friend, a 
       Native girl whose family struggles to find a permanent 
       home to live in; and Laura, whose history of neglect by 
       her mother is destined to repeat itself with her father. 
       Scarborough has already received recognition as winner of 
       the Asian Canadian Writers' Workshop Emerging Writers 
       Award in 2015, and finalist for the 2016 $50,000 Half the 
       World Global Literati Award for best unpublished 
       manuscript. It offers a raw yet empathetic glimpse into a 
       troubled community that locates its dignity in unexpected 
       places: a neighbourhood that refuses to be undone."--
