- Summary:
- A collection of linked short stories about three women whose lives are connected by blood, time and the mountainous landscape of the Crowsnest Pass. In "Long After Fathers" Jessie meets life head-on, and sometimes with her fists. Her fierce, indomitable spirit is tempered by humour and love. Rosalind, Jessie's daughter, has inherited her mother's dauntless spirit and her father's eye and ear for music and poetry. Solange, Rosalind's friend, must flee her inheritance - the coal slag of her backyard - for Calgary, where she can assume the disguise of a desirable woman. The women's stories are like the image of the mountainous landscape that is ever-changing with shifts in the weather. Their shared events are changed by memories, their desires and loyalties. The poetic narrative springs from the women's hearts and completes the entire landscape of "Long After Fathers,"
