Plot / Content: "When David Crown, retired newsreader, widowed and living with his daughter, decides to get back in touch with his estranged twin-sister Diana, he expects to open up the past but not the future . . . "Diana, a doctor, has lived with her lover for over 40 years but Constance is no longer sane and her views on the world are bizarre. Coming into this unconventional situation, David find himself more at home than with his straightforward, all-American younger family. The three evolve a strange triangle of understanding that bewilders and eventually enriches those close to them. "A powerful novel without stereotypes that deals with an unusual world; the days when the body fades and the mind begins a journey of its own." (from the cover) Background / Biography: Jane Vance Rule (28 March 1931 - 27 November 2007) was a US-born Canadian writer of lesbian-themed novels and non-fiction. continued on Wikipedia use search box in the left column to find other title(s) by this author Reviews: Clicking on advertiser links on this site may allow these companies to gather and use information about your visit to this and other websites to provide you with advertisements about goods and services presumed to be of interest to you. |
Quote from this book "'Our father died in childbirth,' wrote David Crown, bearer of bad news (retired), as he sat with his hearing aid turned off at his desk in what had been the ironing room in the basement of his own house. It was an old line, one Diana, his twin, had found melodramatic and inaccurate rather than funny. Their father had been killed in a car accident on his way to hospital where their mother was already in labour. David used it again just the same, uncertain about whether he was writing it down for himself or Diana. Might she be able to hear it differently now, as a kind of cosmic joke on them both? But cosmic jokes had never been on them both. Throughout their childhood, years after they were a pair of bundled babies their mother didn't always dress in pink and blue, people asked if they were identical twins, a stupidity which enraged David because for Diana it was a joke on him without offence to herself." opening paragraph Secondhand booksellers |
