Please see photos.From the dust jacket: Susan Musgrave is one of Canada's foremost poets whose work has been described as mesmerizing, startling and brilliant. When her first novel, The Charcoal Burners, was published in 1980, critics compared it favourably to works of Margaret Atwood, Marian Engel and Leonard Cohen. THE DANCING CHICKEN represents yet another departure for this daring writer. It casts a satiric eye on the alliances and misalliances of small-town institutions and families, specifically the Holmes family.
