Description

In the two time Guy Booker shortlisted writer of The Key Bible comes an impressive new book that's the tale of the twentieth-century in The Usa. Told in the very first person, like a story of Lilly Bere's existence over seventeen times, On Canaan's Aspect starts as she mourns the increasing loss of her son, Bill. Lilly revisits her past, returning for the second she was compelled to flee Ireland, at the conclusion of the Very First World War, and remains her story in The Usa, a world full of both risk and hope. At the same time intimate and epic, Lilly's tale unfolds as she attempts to seem sensible of the folks whose lives she's touched and of the difficulties and sorrows of her life.
