À propos de cet audio
Aspiring novelist Molly MacGregor’s life is strikingly different from a literary heroine’s. Named for one of literature’s least romantic protagonists, Moll Flanders, Molly lives in Edmonton, a city she finds irredeemably unromantic, where she writes university term papers instead of novels, and sells shoes in the Largest Mall on Earth. There she seeks the other half of her young life’s own matched pair.
Delightfully whimsical, Heidi L.M. Jacobs’ Molly of the Mall: Literary Lass and Purveyor of Fine Footwear explores its namesake’s love for the written word, love for the wrong men (and the right one), and her complicated love for her city.

“[A] charming debut...” (Sarah Murdoch, Toronto Star)
“Heidi L.M. Jacobs nails it. Molly of the Mall relentlessly, hilariously conveys the ennui felt by anyone who has ever read a book and then gone to the mall, just as it captures the malaise and pretension of every undergraduate English course ever. A rollicking literary romance set in the icy moonscape of 1990s Edmonton, Molly is wicked good fun.” (Kit Dobson, author of Malled: Deciphering Shopping in Canada)
“Heidi L.M. Jacobs has created a delightfully whimsical protagonist in Molly. Always informed by the characters from literature she loves, she approaches life in her own unique, and fanciful, way. Such fun to follow the retail nightmares and romantic comedy mishaps of this Austenian heroine of mid-90s Edmonton.” (Dina Del Bucchia, author of It's a Big Deal!)
Instead, you get a year in the life of a third-year English major at the University of Alberta in 1995/1996, which is (almost) more interesting than what I thought I was getting. There Is a lot of talk about literature, family, university life, young love, and coming to see the beauty in where you live and who you are with. The protagonist is incredibly relatable, the side characters are all lovely and the writing is excellent. The performance is very good too and really embodies the character. I won't say I'm glad there was not more mall in this book, but I am glad that I read it and I highly recommend it to anyone else who might be interested - just don't expect to learn a whole lot about malls.
This book is not about the mall.
