But she soon comes to suspect another presence: that of a man known only as her Provider, who has shadowed her for twenty years.Against the backdrop of Newfoundland's history and landscape, Fielding is a compelling figure. Taller than most men and striking in spite of her crippled leg, she is both eloquent and subversively funny.

Only her Provider, however, knows all of Fielding's secrets. Reading group guide included. A Book-of-the-Month Club "Best Novel of 2007." This item is printed on demand.
