Description

The tragic, heart-wrenching story of Andy Kronk. After a lifetime intertwined with the Aspinalls, one of Canada's wealthiest families, Andy has finally forged a clean break. Mere months pass, however, before his past returns - and he finds himself obediently digging. At its heart, Entitlement is a story about identity; about who people think they are and where they really stand. Set in rural Ontario, with excursions to Toronto and New York, the novel takes a provocative and honest look at class, power, male relationships, death and familial bonds.

Reviews

"If you enjoy page-turning tension, Bennett has succeeded wildly. . . Crisp and comfortable at the same time, the professionalism in his work lures one to the clean, ordered world of the very rich." -- Peterborough Examiner
