Hindsight is 2020 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781039173835)

Gerry McLean is a man in transition. Or maybe his life has always been that way-seemingly in the hands of others, unravelling before his eyes. This time, though, Gerry is in control.

Hindsight is 2020 is a family saga that unfolds over almost a century, chronicling the lives and times of the McLeans. Their stories are interwoven but trip through time in a non-linear way, told through flashbacks, memories, dreams, and multiple points of view. Each thread ties back to Gerry, an anxiety-ridden man who-at a time when a pandemic has gripped the world-is both reflecting on the past and looking forward to the future.

Hindsight is 2020 is largely set in small-town Ontario but takes the reader to South Korea and Tanzania as it traces Gerry's journey from boyhood to family patriarch. Throughout the book, Gerry's words, actions, and motivations are at once unnerving and heroic. He holds the clues that tie together the enigmatic relationships of five generations of family. Yet Gerry's own fate remains to be unravelled by the reader in this gripping novel about choice, sacrifice, and the stories we all need to hear in order to heal.
