A Student of Weather
あらすじ・解説
From some accidents of love and weather we never quite recover. At the worst of the Prairie dust bowl of the 1930s, a young man appears out of a blizzard and forever alters the lives of two sisters. There is the beautiful, fastidious Lucinda, and the tricky and tenacious Norma Joyce, at first a strange, self-possessed child, later a woman who learns something of self-forgiveness and of the redemptive nature of art. Their rivalry sets the stage for all that follows in a narrative spanning over 30 years, beginning in Saskatchewan and moving, in the decades following the war, to Ottawa and New York City.
Disarming, vividly told, unforgettable, this is a story about the mistakes we make that never go away, about how the things we want to keep vanish and the things we want to lose return to haunt us.
批評家のレビュー
2000, Scotiabank Giller Prize, Nominated
"Hay exposes the beauty simmering in the heart of harsh settings with an evocative grace that brings to mind Annie Proulx.... I was so moved by Norma Joyce's painful, haunting journey to wisdom - and Elizabeth Hay's telling of it - that I wanted to go back to the beginning and start again." (The Washington Post)
