Synopsis
Norma Joyce is young, dark and homely but tough as prairie grass; Lucinda is fair and dutiful, and stands between Norma and the bitter anger of their father. In the drought-ravaged prairies of 1930s Saskatchewan, two sisters fall in love with the same man in a saga of unrequited love.

Review
Spare and elegiac first novel . . . like its maddening characters, A Student of Weather is nearly impossible to not like. (New York Times Book Review)
Enormously moving . . . An unsentimental testament to resilience and mettle. (Newsday)
A compelling and highly original debut. ... Just the right combination of melodrama and melancholy. (Publishers Weekly)
