<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this entrancing novel about the power of fate and memory, Esther O'Malley Robertson looks back over her lifetime and reflects on her Irish lineage. "Vividly drawn and richly textured . . . an enchanting and highly imaginative work that lights up the dark, haunted corners of the human psyche without diminishing their mystery".--New York Newsday.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A stunning, evocative novel set in Ireland and Canada, <b>Away</b> traces a family's complex and layered past. The narrative unfolds with shimmering clarity, and takes us from the harsh northern Irish coast in the 1840s to the quarantine stations at Grosse Isle and the barely hospitable land of the Canadian Shield; from the flourishing town of Port Hope to the flooded streets of Montreal; from Ottawa at the time of Confederation to a large-windowed house at the edge of a Great Lake during the present day. Graceful and moving, <b>Away</b> unites the personal and the political as it explores the most private, often darkest corners of our emotions where the things that root us to ourselves endure. Powerful, intricate, lyrical, <b>Away</b> is an unforgettable novel.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A dazzling novel...written by a major novelist at the height of her considerable powers."<b>-<b>Globe and Mail<b>"One of those novels that moves in and takes over your life....Enjoyable not only for its complexity and subtle characterization, but also for the sheer power of Urquhart's writing....<b>Away</b> is simply a great novel." -<b>Books in Canada<b>"Poignant, lilting and emotionally true....Urquhart [creates] her own spell with language that shimmers....." -<b>Chicago Tribune<b>"Urquhart writes with clear, sensuous poetry." -<b>Times Literary Supplement</b> (U.K.)</b></b></b></b></b></b></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jane Urquhart is the bestselling author of five internationally acclaimed, award-winning novels.
