Harper Collins, Toronto, 2002, 2002. Soft cover. As New. Octavo, softcover, as new in sepia tone pictorial wraps. Winner of the Giller prize, the most celebrated book in 2002. 415 pp. It's the late 1930s and two sisters, Clara and Nora Callan, face the future with both hope and uncertainty. Clara, a 30ish schoolteacher who lives in small-town Ontario, longs for love and adventure. Nora, her flighty and very pretty younger sister, escapes to the excitement of New York, where she lands a starring role in a radio soap and becomes a minor celebrity. In a world of Depression and at a time when war clouds are gathering, the sisters struggle within the web of social expectations for young women.
