I have just submitted Final Decree by George Jonas. The description from the
back cover is:
Kazmer Harcsa, an immigrant carpenter, has worked hard to provide his family
with all the comforts of a modest middle-class life in Toronto, but his dream
is shattered when his young wife leaves him, taking their two children with
her. Kazmer is plunged into a humiliating world of slick divorce lawyers and
incomprehensible court orders, a world where his native wisdom and wit are
mistaken for simple-mindedness. Unable to make anyone understand his pain,
Kazmer feels compelled to take the law into his own hands and seek his own
brand of tragic justice.
In Final Decree, George Jonas has crafted a fascinating and controversial
portrait of a man struggling to maintain his dignity and a legal system that
often doesn't stop long enough to listen to those who file--through its
courtrooms.
