Entitlement

Description

The tragic, heart-wrenching story of Andy Kronk. After a lifetime intertwined with the Aspinalls, one of Canada's wealthiest families, Andy has finally forged a clean break. Mere months pass, however, before his past returns - and he finds himself obediently digging. At its heart, Entitlement is a story about identity; about who people think they are and where they really stand. Set in rural Ontario, with excursions to Toronto and New York, the novel takes a provocative and honest look at class, power, male relationships, death and familial bonds.

Jonathan Bennett is the author of the novel "After Battersea Park" and "Verandah People," runner-up for the Danuta Gleed Literary Award. His writing has appeared in many periodicals and journals, including "Antipodes," "Descant"," Globe and Mail," and "Quill & Quire." He teaches writing at Trent University. He lives in Peterborough, Ontario.

"If you enjoy page-turning tension, Bennett has succeeded wildly. . . Crisp and comfortable at the same time, the professionalism in his work lures one to the clean, ordered world of the very rich." -- Peterborough Examiner
