Visit Ben McNally Books in Toronto for a book launch event with Mundy McLaughlin (Fiction, January 2019) for her debut novel, Blue Life (Civil Sector Press). Mundy will be joined in conversation with writer Lilita Tannis with a signing to follow.

Set in late 1970s New York City, Blue Life follows the intertwined paths of Luna, an art student and Didi, an aspiring actress, who meet as performers in the legendary “Go-Go” dancing scene across the water in New Jersey.

Bonding on their shared experiences, Luna and Didi form an instant connection, but while Luna’s path ascends through her work as a burgeoning artist in New York City’s famed East Village, Didi’s life spirals downwards. Their divergent, but connected paths test both their friendship and their loyalty.
