"From the author of the internationally acclaimed LATITUDES OF MELT comes the story of Moranna MacKenzie, a woman who lives alone in a Cape Breton farmhouse, fighting the symptoms of mental illness and still grieving the loss of her two daughters, who were taken from her over thirty years previously. Moranna is simply unforgettable, and JOAN CLARK imbues her eccentric life with both wit and romance. Her struggle with mental illness provides the novel with both sadness and hilarity, even as it moves to its extraordinary end."--Publisher.
