A Student of Weather

From Some Accidents Of Love And Weather We Never Quite Recover. At The Worst Of The Prairie Dust Bowl Of The 1930s, A Young Man Appears Out Of A Blizzard And Forever Alters The Lives Of Two Sisters. There Is The Beautiful, Fastidious Lucinda, And The Tricky And Tenacious Norma Joyce, At First A Strange, Self-possessed Child, Later A Woman Who Learns Something Of Self-forgiveness And Of The Redemptive Nature Of Art. Their Rivalry Sets The Stage For All That Follows In A Narrative Spanning Over Thirty Years, Beginning In Saskatchewan And Moving, In The Decades Following The War, To Ottawa And New York City. Disarming, Vividly Told, Unforgettable, This Is A Story About The Mistakes We Make That Never Go Away, About How The Things We Want To Keep Vanish And The Things We Want To Lose Return To Haunt Us.
