As part of the city’s war effort, Polly Tremblay decides to train and work as a welder at the Halifax Shipyards. Affirmed by her work, Polly’s journey toward personal and professional independence begins. Soon, Victory in Europe is declared and Halifax erupts into riotous chaos – along with Polly’s future. Navigating the V.-E. Day mobs, Polly searches for her mother, the courage to forge her own path, and the soul of the city she adores.
We Happy Few was chosen as a Staff Pick by Atlantic Books Today.

Aren A. Morris is a Halifax-based educator and theatre maker. While this is Aren’s debut novel, her other works and endeavors (including creativity retreats, children’s theatre, and collaborations with local artists) have inspired audiences for years. She pulls her inspiration from: stories that stick with her, her former students and time spent in nature with her husband and two children.
