Summary | "As the story opens, Lily, the heroine of Timothy Findley's Victorian-Gothic-style novel as seen through the narrative of her son Charlie, is ending her days in an asylum; her life unfolds as a Dickensian tale of deprivation and struggle between the feminine and the coldly masculine, leading to that 'madwoman in the attic' denouement. Yet Charlie is reclaiming his mother's life through his loving telling of her story"--from www.amazon.ca. |
