The Commonwealth Writers' Prize-winning author recreates in luminous prose the lives of a family in a village on the banks of the Ottawa River.
World War II is just over when Jock moves his wife, Maura, and their three children to a small bungalow in Quebec, Canada. He complains about the government, and tries to teach his children about life and poetry. But beneath the unrippled domestic surface bubble the anxieties and hopes of the women in the family.
