Everybody Has Everything

By Katrina Onstad (Trade Paperback, 2013)
After years of unsuccessful attempts at conceiving a child, Ana and James become parents overnight, when a terrible accident makes them guardians to 2 ½ year-old Finn. Suddenly, two people who were struggling to come to terms with childlessness are thrust into the opposite situation-responsible for a small toddler whose mother's survival is in question.

Finn's crash-landing in their tidy, urban lives throws into high relief some troubling truths about their deepest selves, both separately and as a couple. Several chaotic, poignant, and life-changing weeks as a most unusual family give rise to an often unasked question: Can everyone be a parent?

Katrina Onstad's award-winning journalism has appeared in The New York Times as well as in The Guardian, Elle, and Toronto Life. A former film critic for the National Post, she is currently a culture columnist in the Style section of The Globe and Mail.

  • "What an interesting, vivid, utterly modern novel Katrina Onstad has written.  I love how intelligently and precisely she explores James and Ana's emotions around marriage, love, sex, work, ambition and parenthood.  Everybody Has Everything made me both think and feel differently about my own life." (Margot Livesey, author of The Flight of Gemmy Hardy and The House on Fortune Street).

  • "Tenderly observed and elegantly drawn, Onstad's characters are true to the deep worries and tangential shifts of fate which often define modern life; they remind us of that life's ability to soothe, to hurt, and to heal." (Vincent Lam, author of The Headmaster's Wager).
