The Friday Slow Song
Stories from a Prairie TownBy Clara Bennett
Length1h 14m
About this audiobook
The Friday Slow Song is a cozy collection of interconnected short stories set in a small Saskatchewan town, where four strangers arrive and, through the ordinary rituals of winter life, find the belonging they didn’t know they were looking for.
A city girl learns the unwritten rules of her aunt’s kitchen. A newly divorced woman stumbles into movie night at the Memorial Hall, where Mavis runs the popcorn hatch like a quiet act of grace. A grieving man spends two afternoons in a cassette shop making a mixtape — and something more. And a woman who grew up here, left, and came back finds her footing one Friday skating shift at a time.
Warm, observant, and quietly transformative, The Friday Slow Song is cozy literary fiction at its gentlest: slow-burn emotional storytelling, found family, and the comfort of small-town ritual. Perfect for readers who love Canadian literary fiction, feel-good short stories and cozy fiction.
