In the early morning dark, Emer McConnell rises for a day of teaching music in the schools of rural Saskatchewan. While she travels the snowy roads, she begins another journey, one of recollection and introspection, and one that, through the course of this new novel, will leave the reader changed. Back when she was 11, she was injured in an enormous prairie storm. As she recovered, separated from her family in a childrens ward, Emer befriends her fellow patients, a memorable group including a child performer who stars in a travelling theatre company, the daughter of a Dukhobor community, and the son of a leftist Jewish farm collective. The children are tended to by three nursing sisters and two doctors, whom the ever-imaginative Emer comes to call Doctor Angel and Doctor Carpenter.Emers tale grows outwards from that ward, with many stories. She explores themes of colonial expansion, racial and cultural divides and more. This is a major self-exploration.Product Number: 09780771098321
