Sandra Beck

John Lavery

4.9/5 (23578 ratings)

Description:No writer in Canada today is more in love with the English and French languages than acclaimed author John Lavery. In inventive, incantatory prose, Sandra Beck paints a very unusual portrait of a lady. This is a book about many things: the struggling antics of adolescence, the banal delusions of solitude, the city of Montreal. But it is, above all, a deeply moving tribute to a woman who is both present and absent on every page. Who is Sandra Beck? She is a mother, a wife, a musician, a manager; she is the ghost in the seat behind us. Her story is told in the voices of others -- namely, her daughter, the wordstruck and lovestruck Josée; and her husband, the police chief and TV personality P. F. Bastarache. Despite their keen investigative powers, the "testimony" of Josée and her father is often untrustworthy, even contradictory: self-interest hobbles their understanding. Sandra, on crutches herself, becomes a crutch for them both. A powerful and provocative novel from an utterly original voice.Winner of the Globe and Mail top 100 books of the yearWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
