'Douglas Coupland has surely reserved his place at the top table of North American fiction.'
Independent on Sunday

Cheryl Anway, 17, secretly married to her high-school sweetheart and pregnant, doodles "God is nowhere, God is now here" on her class binder. Hours later, clutching the same binder, she is shot dead...

The four narrators of Hey Nostradamus! are all searching for meaning. There is Cheryl, frozen in time at 17, a mixture of naivety and pragmatism; Jason, fated to conform to the label of "the boy who never got over it"; lonely, sensible Heather, who falls in love with Jason; and Jason's tyrannical, religious father Reg . . .
A penetrating novel about faith, grief, love and the possibility of redemption, as readable and engaging as Coupland at his best.'
Scotsman

Tough, accomplished and subtle, it addresses all the big issues - God, suffering, miracles, family life, why bad things happen to good people - without ever
becoming grandiose or pretentious. This is far too wise a book to offer answers, but it affirms that seeking them is a necessary part of our humanity.'
Daily Telegraph

'As definitive as Generation X, and more affecting.'
