09.14: Jonathan Evison
2015-08-14 23:03:15| Powells Books Events Calendar
With her husband Bernard two years in the grave, 78-year-old Harriet Chance sets sail on an ill-conceived Alaskan cruise only to discover that she's been living the past 60 years of her life under entirely false pretenses. With This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance! (Algonquin Books), Jonathan Evison has crafted a bighearted novel with an endearing heroine at its center. Part dysfunctional love story, part poignant exploration of the mother/daughter relationship, nothing is what it seems in this tale of acceptance, reexamination, forgiveness, and, ultimately, healing.
