Summary:

"Acclaimed poet Lisa Fishman's debut novel tracks a peripatetic 1970s childhood and the uprooted friendship between girls who stay connected by mail, until they don't. It opens in a borrowed house in wintry Nova Scotia, where the adult narrator faces the first-ever border closure between her two countries. Framed by these long-separated experiences, the novel keeps almost-beginning again as the narrator tries to figure out where she will be next by figuring out where she has been previously. Along the way, a dead horse, a lost crop, a miscarriage, an extra-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds, and more friendships between women emerge. Write Back Now! explores the tensions between experience and loss, imagination and memory, the real and the absurd."-- Provided by publisher.
