As her grandparents prepared to leave their home of nearly fifty years, Carmen Kruk realized she had no idea how they came to be the crossword-puzzling Torontonians she had grown up knowing. Created word-for-word from a series of recorded interviews Roxborough traces one family’s history from a Saskatchewan homestead in 1904, to a retirement home during a global pandemic, and back again, as three generations contend with change, illness, loss, and what it might mean to live a good life.
