  • "Orphaned by the sudden suicides of both his parents (who discovered they were in love with the same woman), seventeen-year-old Wyatt Hillyer is taken in by his aunt and uncle in the small town of Middle Economy, Nova Scotia, where he is apprenticed to his uncle's toboggan business and falls in love with his ravishing adopted cousin, Tilda. Setting in motion the novel's chain of life-altering passions is the arrival of German student Hans Mohring, carrying only a satchel. Tilda's feelings for Hans stir up tensions that will test the bonds of love, family, and community to its limits. Wyatt's personal account of the astonishing events leading up to his fathering of a beloved daughter spills out twenty-one years later."@en

  • "aSeventeen-year-old Wyatt Hillyer is orphaned when his parents jump off two different bridges within hours of each other - the result of their separate involvements with the same neighbor, a Halifax switchboard operator and aspiring actress. Wyatt is forced to move to a small town to live with his uncle, aunt, and ravishing cousin Tilda. A chain of life-altering passions and the wartime perfidy at its core is set in motion by the arrival of the German student Hans Mohring."
  • "Seventeen-year-old Wyatt Hillyer is suddenly orphaned when his parents, within hours of each other, jump off two different bridges--the result of their separate involvements with the same compelling neighbor, a Halifax switchboard operator and aspiring actress. The suicides cause Wyatt to move to small-town Middle Economy to live with his uncle, aunt, and cousin Tilda. Wyatt's account of the astonishing--not least to him--events leading up to his fathering of a beloved daughter spills out twenty-one years later. It's a confession that speaks profoundly of the mysteries of human character in wartime and is directed, with both despair and hope, to an audience of one."@en

Setting in motion the novel's chain of life-altering passions, and the wartime perfidy at its core, is the arrival of a German student. Actual historical events -- including the sinking of the Nova Scotia-Newfoundland ferry Caribou, on which Wyatt's aunt may be traveling -- lend intense narrative power to this uncannily layered story. Wyatt's account of the events leading up to his fathering of a beloved daughter spills out twenty-one years later in a confession that speaks deeply of the mysteries of human character in wartime and is directed, with despair and hope, to an audience of one."@en
