In Most Anything you Please, Trudy Morgan-Cole offers the saga of three generations of Holloway women, who run a small grocery and confectionary store in the storied working-class neighbourhood of Rabbittown in St. John’s, Newfoundland. With wit and sensitivity, Morgan-Cole delivers her characters through a world of war on the home front and the vast cultural changes shaping the city around them, through celebration and loss while men and music appear and disappear from their lives. Quietly reinventing the epic, on a smaller scale, most Anything You Please is an affirmation of the connections between mothers, daughters, and the communities they build, a story about the bonds that break and the ties that bind.
