Riders on the Orphan Train: a novel by Alison Moore

Riders on the Orphan Train: a novel by Alison Moore

A thoroughly engaging and intoxicating blend of metaphysics, marijuana and midlife crisis.

The malaise that besets Michael Poole as he hits middle age is a familiar one. After many years as a successful documentary film producer and director, he finds himself suffering from serious burnout. But the cure Poole prescribes for himself is not so common. Retreating from the demands of the city to a waterfront acreage on British Columbia's idyllic Sunshine Coast, he throws himself into wholesome toil: the cultivation of marijuana.

Romancing Mary Jane is an intimate, funny and eye-opening depiction of ten months in the life of a neophyte marijuana grower. It is also an entertaining examination of cannabis culture.

Alison Moore's first novel, The Lighthouse, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Awards, winning the McKitterick Prize. Both The Lighthouse and her second novel, He Wants (Biblioasis, 2016), were Observer Books of the Year. Her most recent novel is Death and the Seaside (forthcoming from Biblioasis). Her short fiction has been included in Best British Short Stories and Best British Horror anthologies and broadcast on BBC Radio. The title story of her debut collection, The Pre-War House and Other Stories, won a novella prize. Her first children's book, Sunny and the Ghosts, will be published in the UK in 2018.
