| Summary: | "Morag Gunn is trying to write a novel, but memories of her impoverished childhood in rural Manitoba and her early days as a struggling female writer keep seeping into her present-day life--and her stormy relationship with her teenaged daughter Pique is a further heart-wrenching distraction. As the book takes shape, it becomes evident that Morag's Scottish settler story must be told together with the Métis story of Pique's father, Jules Tonnerre. Thiessen and Nolan's acclaimed stage adaptation of Margaret Laurence's classic novel examines critical issues of identity, class, and reconciliation."--Page 4 of cover. |
