About This Item
13.97 x 1.91 x 21.60 cm- A tight and unmarked copy with moderate wear, scuffing, and light creasing- " Jane Vance Rule was a Canadian writer of lesbian-themed novels and non-fiction. American by birth and Canadian by choice, Rule's pioneering work as a writer and activist reached across borders. Jane Rule's incandescent third novel explores love, loss, and family. and the pieces of ourselves we leave behind. Born lame, Amelia Larson lives in the house that has been in her family for generations. Now she has a decision to make: Should she honor the dying wish of her sister, Beatrice, to burn her diaries? There are sixty-nine in all: one journal for each year of Beatrice's life since the age of six. Beginning in 1913 and traversing World War I and beyond, the diaries become a moving counterpoint to Amelia's life as they unpeel layers of family history. As the past starts to impinge on the present, her relations--then and now--come to vivid life."
