The shock of violence in far-off battlefields is echoed in a terror much closer to hand. With bold perception and remarkable self-reliance, Ena faces a dramatically altered world. Ena is self-contained, and careful not to reach too far into the turbulent emotional lives of others. As the war progresses, Ena forms a fierce bond of loyalty for Blain, the delightful but (necessarily) duplicitous boy who comes to work for her. Through Blain, she learns to extend herself in unexpected ways--to reach outside of herself, and to risk. Ena also grows closer to her sister-in-law, Sarah, a gifted painter. Sarah is unafraid of confronting emotional turmoil and passion but she doesn't have Ena's absolute clarity of purpose and aim. Ena helps Sarah move closer to the life she wants, while Sarah opens Ena to a terrible and essential kind of beauty. When studying Sarah's paintings, Ena comments that it is not the surface that matters, but rather what is underneath. The same is true of this novel--underneath the meticulous detail of daily life is the emotional landscape of persistent, courageous women, watching the violence of war in Europe (World War I) and domestic violence closer to home."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters-in-law $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Ontario $v Fiction. 776 1 $a Mills-Milde, Valerie, 1960-, author. $t Land's long reach./ $d Toronto : Inanna Publications, 2018. $k Inanna poetry & fiction series $k Inanna poetry & fiction series $w (CaOONL)20189015349 830 0 $a Inanna poetry & fiction series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212015252.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9DFCD314E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
