Raincoast Books is very pleased to announce that After Goodlake's, by Terence Young, has been shortlisted for the 2nd annual City of Victoria Butler Book Prize.

After Goodlake's, published in 2004 by Raincoast Books, centres around Fergus, the owner of the venerable family business, Goodlake's Deli. Although happily married, Fergus is having an affair-a relationship that starts out carefree but eventually, like a slow-building earthquake, cracks the foundations of everything in his life.Young shows us how Fergus' resulting crisis is by turns humorous, tragic and epic, involving not only his own story but also the story of generations in a family, a respected business, a town and the people who populate it.

It is a public/private partnership funded by the City of Victoria and Brian H. Butler of Butler Brothers Supplies Ltd.
