"Most writers can either create great characters or propulsive plots: Strube nails both, with gusto... " -- Ottawa Citizen "Strube's comic sense is like a perfectly mixed martini: exceedingly dry and potent." -- Toronto Star Stevie, a recovering alcoholic and kitchen manager of Chappy's, a small chain restaurant, is frantically trying to prevent the people around her from going supernova: her PTSD-suffering veteran son, her uproariously demented parents, the polyglot eccentrics who work in her kitchen, the blind geriatric dog she inherits, and an unusual little girl who has landed on her doorstep and needs a place to stay. In the tight grip of new corporate owners, Stevie battles the chain's "restructuring" to save her kitchen, while trying to learn to forgive herself and maybe allow some love back into her life. Stevie's biting, hilarious take on her own and others' foibles will make you cheer and have you loving Misconduct of the Heart (in the immortal words of Stevie's best line cook) "like never tomorrow." Cordelia Strube is the author of ten critically acclaimed novels. She has been nominated for the Governor General's Award, the Trillium Book Award, the W.H. Smith/Books in Canada First Novel Award, and longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Her previous novel, On The Shores of Darkness, There Is Light, won the City of Toronto Book Award.
