Description

A tough and poignant novel that tells us the uncompromising story of Nora Moratti. This immigrant woman struggles to find freedom and happiness in Canada only to have them snatched away by a series of tragedies. The aged Nora recalls Hagar Shipley (Margaret Laurence) in graphic detail and with no regrets. Ardizzi uses a powerful and poetic language to capture the deepest sentiments of a woman with imagination and courage. The reader will not soon forget Nora and her story.
