<p>With her multiple-award-winning, bestselling, and critically acclaimed novel <em>The Outlander</em>, Gil Adamson established herself as one of our preeminent fiction writers. But ten years before <em>The Outlander</em>, when Adamson published another book of fiction with a small press, readers and critics immediately sat up and took note. Barbara Gowdy called <em>Help Me, Jacques Cousteau</em> "outstanding … smart, haunting, utterly original".</p><p><em>Help Me, Jacques Cousteau</em> presents the life and times of Hazel and her brother Andrew, who are born into an extraordinary family who share only one thing: a penchant for eccentric behaviour. Adamson demonstrates her powerful prose style, uniquely combining a scientist's loving attention to detail, a comic's unerring delivery and a poet's sublime ear.</p><p>With this updated edition, Adamson's brilliant, fascinating, and funny portrait of a contemporary young woman's coming of age is ready for readers once again.</p>
