Can I suggest Frying Plantain by Zalka Reid-Benta. Very much a Toronto book.

I haven't read that one yet but I read her newer River Mumma when I was on the Trillium book award jury last year and chose her as one of the finalists.
It takes place in the 1990’s and hits close to home for this Gen-Xer.
Man it's an excellent book, really powerful writing.
