“I am a bit of a sucker for historical fiction, and this one—set in the early 1900s and centred around a young, penniless Irish woman—drew me in from the first page. To escape an abusive husband, Flora runs away to a rural Saskatchewan town. There, with nothing but grit, Flora commits to carving out a life, despite the endless challenges of doing so as a single woman. The writing is so deft you feel you are part of the story.”
