"Told in the first person, as a narrative of Lilly Bere's life over seventeen days, On Canaan's side opens as Lilly mourns the loss of her grandson, Bill. Lilly revisits her past, going back to the moment she was forced to flee Ireland at the end of the First World War, and continues her tale in America, a world filled with both hope and danger."--From container.
