Description
Winner of the 1995 3-Day Novel-Writing Contest
Body Speaking Words is a novel about - what else - writing a novel in three days, at the same time offering insights into family, friendship, growing up female, and delighting in strange foods; a poignant, funny and sexy account of one woman's attempt to understand what drives us to document the essential stories of our lives.
". . . will strongly appeal to struggling authors." (Quill & Quire)
"Body Speaking Words is an engaging example of its kind, exploring themes of writing and story through a painstaking depiction of the writing process which is interwoven with a sub-plot (main plot?) about writing and the bonds between women, inside and outside of the family. " (Canadian Literature)
