Lost Geography

In her triumphant debut novel, Charlotte Bacon explores the transitions that sixty years visit upon the members of an unforgettable family a Saskatchewan woman and her Scottish husband; their independent daughter who moves to Toronto; and "her" daughter, who lives in France with her Turkish-English husband. In settings both rural and urban, these stalwart, resilient people respond not only to new environments and experiences but to the eruption of sudden loss. Taking the complexity of migration as its central subject, "Lost Geography" invites us to witness how habits of survival translate from one generation to another."
