Who is “Crazy Eddie”?

All the locals want to know.

Why does he live on the streets when he has all the advantages? When he doesn't drink or do drugs like they expect. And why does he wrap himself in a white shawl and mutter incantations to the trees every morning in a local park? Is he a Klan member? A nut?

The Oracle of Spring Garden Road is the story of this unusual homeless man, who panhandles and dispenses his peerless wisdom in his makeshift office in front of a bank in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. It follows his origins, as the child of loving Hungarian Jewish emigres in Toronto, and the shocking events that led him to withdraw from the perfidy and corruption of human beings. Now, however, just as Eddie has decided to plan his return to society after nearly two decades on the streets, he encounters Jane, a kind woman whose intelligence and integrity rival his own. Jane makes it her mission to uncover the painful secrets of his past, to make him whole again. But will she heal Eddie or will he save her?

A dizzying ride between past and present, The Oracle of Spring Garden Road is a tour de force of love, betrayal, tradition, the transformative beauty of nature, and the heavenly music of life.

"Compelling, fascinating, heartbreaking." (Reader Views)
