FINALIST FOR THE 2022 ATLANTIC BOOK AWARDS’ EVELYN RICHARDSON NON-FICTION AWARD
 
A deeply personal account of love's restorative ability as it leads renowned novelist Donna Morrissey through mental illness, family death, and despair to becoming a writer--told with charm and inimitable humour.

When Donna Morrissey left the only home she had ever known, an isolated Newfoundland settlement, at age 16, she was ready for adventure. She had grown up without television or telephones but had absorbed the tragic stories and comic yarns of her close-knit family and community. The death of her infant brother marked the family, and years later, Morrissey suffers devastating guilt about the accidental death of her teenage brother, whom she'd enticed to join her in the oilfields. Her misery was compounded by her own misdiagnosis of a terminal illness, all of which contributed to crippling anxiety and an actual diagnosis of PTSD. Many of those events and themes would eventually be transformed and recast as fictional gold in Morrissey's novels.

In another writer's hands, Morrissey's account of her personal story could easily be a tragedy. Instead, she combines darkness and light, levity and sadness into her tale, as her indomitable spirit and humour sustain her. Morrissey's path takes her from the drudgery of being a grocery clerk (who occasionally enlivens her shift with recreational drugs) to western oilfields, to marriage and divorce and working in a fish-processing plant to support herself and her two young children. Throughout her struggles, she nourishes a love of learning and language.

Morrissey layers her account of her life with stories of those who came before her, a breed rarely seen in the modern world. It centers around iron-willed women: mothers and daughters, wives, sisters, teachers and mentors who find the support, the wind for their wings, outside the bounds given to them by nature. And it is a mysterious older woman she meets in Halifax who eventually unleashes the writer that Morrissey is destined to become.

An inspiring and insightful memoir, Pluck illustrates that even when you find yourself unravelling, you can find a way to spin the yarns that will save you--and delight readers everywhere.

Looks fine at a glance but definitely budget
Color: Ivory, Size: Large
I picked this up in the ivory color and the overall design leans very old school, especially with the oversized front buttons. They look nice from a distance, but up close they feel a bit cheap. The pants are one of the better parts, with a comfortable fit and an elastic waistband, and the included tie is a nice touch. Fit seems generally accurate, though having a size chart would have helped. The material is where the cost really shows, with a coarse polyester exterior and a smoother inner lining that helps with comfort. It gets the job done if you need something affordable in a pinch, just don’t expect it to feel or look high end up close.

Great looking suit
This suit is very good looking. To me, it is hard to find a suit in a cream color like this, that actually looks good. This one pulled off the trick for me! The jacket is well made and if you look at the posted photos you will see that the hankie pocket is slightly slanted. That makes this suit a bit unique among others. It even comes with the Red Tie included! It is well made, great looking, fits right and feels great.

Too Wide and Not Long Enough for Tall, Skinny Builds
I bought this for my 16-year-old son (he’s about 6’2” and very tall and slender with a normal pant size of 30" 34") to have something simple in his closet for school dances and occasional events. Gray felt versatile — something he could dress up or down without overthinking it. Sizing was the biggest issue for us. I ordered a men’s large because that’s typically what I buy him for sweat pants, work out pants and for the added length in shirts, but this suit was way too big through the waist and chest. For something labeled “slim fit,” it did not fit like a slim suit at all. The inseam measured at 31 inches, which is shorter than other suits we’ve purchased for him, and the size chart (which wasn’t available when I ordered) doesn’t even list inseam measurements at all — which really matters for tall, lean boys like mine. As far as construction, this feels more like an occasional-wear suit for a teenager than something a grown man would wear regularly. The jacket is lined, which is nice, and it includes extra buttons. But there were loose threads inside around the buttons and pockets, and some stitching — especially under the arm pit area it already looked like it could come apart with wear. The inside pocket material feels thin and not especially durable. The arm length itself was a great fit for my tall son, and even offered a little room for growth. The pants were similar. When I turned them inside out, I noticed loose threads where the seams meet, particularly at the crotch. The pocket lining material feels rough, and there is only 1 extra inch of fabric at the hem if you need additional length, where I am used to seeing 2 inches of material for adjustments. I noticed that my son wore his belt on his hips when he tried it on so he pant legs would look more of a normal length. Overall, this might work fine as a backup suit for someone who needs it once in a while and isn’t overly concerned with tailoring or long-term durability. But based on fit and construction, it’s not something I would purchase for my husband or for frequent wear.

I dislike the royal blue - I abhor the cheap, tacky buttons
I requested this product without being able to see the product photo or any information about it (beyond the title) because I requested a similarly-priced 3-piece suit on Amazon previously and that was a fine suit; it wasn't amazing, but it was decent. This is far worse and I don't think many people would feel good about spending the $75 on this. I would never wear this suit jacket in public because it would embarrass me due to the color and the buttons. I suppose the color is a subjective choice, and I like many shades of blue and have two blue suits. A dark blue would've been OK with me (preferable), or even a lighter blue could be OK I suppose - but this "royal blue" shade is nauseating to me, its as if its trying to be overly-vibrant. The buttons aren't just a problem because they're cheap plastic - their placement is reminiscent of a style of suit jackets I've only ever seen in history books or old period movies set in eras well over a century ago - nobody wears jackets like this anymore unless they're dressed in formal uniforms like police. The title says it could be for a prom? No, I would not ever wear it to a prom or suggest it as a suit anyone would wear to a prom. The pants are decent! This is why I'm giving it two stars. Initially I couldn't imagine wearing this suit in any way whatsoever but the pants fit well and have a very professional-looking crease right where it should be. The color is bad, but I'll keep it in the back of the closet for days when I have no other slacks appropriate for work that are clean. I greatly appreciate the elastic in the waistband - it has that new stretchy type which allowed me to fit into it without trouble even though someone of my weight otherwise wouldn't.

It's nice enough, but nothing spectacular
This was definitely a gamble since there was no picture provided.... But, my husband needed a newer suit, so we took a chance. Well, it's green! Which is the last thing we expected lol. But, it's not terrible. My husband actually thinks he can do something with it. I'm disappointed because it's only a jacket, pants and tie- not a three piece with a vest like i thought I was getting. Also the fabric just isn't a great material. For $80, it's not great. I've gotten better for $20 from temu. However, it does fit very him very nicely. He's about 5 foot nine or ten, 185lb. If you're in a bind and need a suit in a hurry, this will certainly do just fine. Just know it's not luxury. Pictures are taken right out of the bag, not ironed or anything.
