Powieść kanadyjska w języku angielskim
Een Canadese schilderes van middelbare leeftijd beschrijft haar intense gevoelens en indrukken van de dagen van weleer.
Written in an autobiographical vein about a middle-aged Canadian painter who is thrust into an extended reconsideration of her past, including one particularly strange friendship, while attending a retrospective of her work in Toronto.
Une peintre au début de la cinquantaine, revient à Toronto, sa ville natale, et découvre de surprenants changements. Ce retour l'amène à revivre, en pensée, différents épisodes de son existence (en particulier, une période de son enfance au cours de laquelle elle était terrorisée et brimée par une autre enfant), à méditer sur la mort et le temps enfui. Comme le signale Jean Royer, des voix féministes ont critiqué ce roman psychologique et sociologique qui s'attache pour une part assez importante à démonter les mécanismes "d'apprentissage du pouvoir chez les filles" de sept à douze ans.
