When Alice Lay Down with Peter , Margaret Sweatman's third novel, is an entirely original history of the Canadian Prairies from the early years of buffalo hunting and rebellion through to 1970. Blondie, the wry narrator, recounts the story of four feisty women: her mother, Alice; Blondie herself; her stunningly beautiful daughter, Helen; and her artist granddaughter, Dianna. In her 109 years, Blondie has seen it all, from the hanging of Louis Riel to Helen's death in the Spanish Civil War. Assorted husbands, a banker, a monk, a communist, and several ghosts also make appearances, lending this marvellous literary confection set in Southern Manitoba's Red River Valley a magical, eccentric atmosphere. Recurring floods and lightning bolts at the moment of conception add to the rollicking mix, which Sweatman narrates with rare skill and humour: "Eli looked at the corn as a Zen Buddhist would examine a screwdriver." She delights in the way words flood their banks and find new channels through the flatlands: "My mother's laughter, those nine months, came from the place where happiness and a nearly intolerable ache live together." The beauty of her language never wavers. It is consistently inventive and, with the strong story, lifts this novel to another level. Highly recommended. --Mark Frutkin. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Finalist, McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award Nominated, Margaret Laurence Award for FictionTwo French explorers arrive in Court to charm two ships from the English King. The rest, as they say, is history. Or perhaps not. Set in the libertine era of Restoration England, The Players embarks on a voyage of discovery with compelling characters, a magical plot, and stunning imagery. A tale of beginnings and of invention, this remarkable novel takes on the 17th century with a contemporary sensibility. Here, the ability to perform -- in Court, on stage, in private quarters, and in the brutal cold of James Bay -- might save your life. and Lilly Cole must play along with the best of them. Sly, provocative, and ingeniously funny, Sweatman's prose explores the deep well of human motivation, how instinct trumps reason when survival is in question.
