C.P. HOFF

Hoff is a stereotypical middle-aged woman fighting gravity while avoiding mirrors and good lighting. At this point it’s almost a fulltime job. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her husband, reading, and writing anything that might irritate her mother.

Hoff lives in southern Alberta. She has written for the local paper, which might be impressive if she lived in New York, and if anyone read the local paper.

Her novel, A Town Called Forget, was longlisted for the Stephen Leacock Medal For humour. Her novels West of Ireland and Canterberry Tales, respectively, were named in Kirkus Review’s Best Books of 2020 and Best Books of 2021.

    West of Ireland

Hoff animates this tale of over-the-top family dysfunction with wit, considerable writing skills and deadpan humor. —Kirkus Reviews (stared review)
