<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Frances of the Wider Field is about mothers, daughters, time, mortality--the loss of memory and meaning.

Frances appears part god, part curious child, part the small solitary voice inside. Van Prooyen asks 'Is a sigh a word? Is a body a word? / Is a tongue the beginning?' She tells us, 'Memory cannot undo the future. Frances, if I said, /tonight I thank the seven sisters, it's really / the blue dust of God between them. Or you'"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Frances of the Wider Field is about mothers, daughters, time, mortality-the loss of memory and meaning.
