Items related to A Student of Weather
From some accidents of love and weather we never quite recover. At the worst of the Prairie dust bowl of the 1930s, a young man appears out of a blizzard and forever alters the lives of two sisters. There is the beautiful, fastidious Lucinda, and the tricky and tenacious Norma Joyce, at first a strange, self-possessed child, later a woman who learns something of self-forgiveness and of the redemptive nature of art. Their rivalry sets the stage for all that follows in a narrative spanning over thirty years, beginning in Saskatchewan and moving, in the decades following the war, to Ottawa and New York City. Disarming, vividly told, unforgettable, this is a story about the mistakes we make that never go away, about how the things we want to keep vanish and the things we want to lose return to haunt us.

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)
