Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. First U.S. Edition. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "It is the summer of 1889 on the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls. The Undertaker's wife, Maude, will be busy, for this is the season of crazy stunts and frequent river accidents. Her days are shadowed and defined by death--her husband's and her customers'--and by her young son's intransigent silence. [] Across the street at Kick's Hotel live David McDougal, an obsessive military historian haunted by the revolutionary heroine Laura Secord, and his wife Freda, whose own dreams take shape in the woods beside a whirlpool and in the sonorous rhythms of Robert Browning's life. And it is here, in a glade below the falls, that she encounters Patrick, the poet who is destined to change her life. [] A brilliant debut from a major new voice in Canadian fiction, THE WHIRLPOOL combines a dream-like texture with a lyrical, certain voice. The people inhabiting its landscape, all caught in the whirlpool's inexorable embrace, find their destinies changed in mid-stream, the courses of their lives motivated by darker, more sinister currents. This is a strange, compelling and utterly believable tale of Victorian obsession, interpreted and freshly recreated by a born storyteller." [jacket copy] "THE WHIRLPOOL is a jewel of a book: its finely polished facets are full of light, yet suggest numerous depths. . . Urquhart's moody, incisive and shimmering prose, her cleverness and wit soar. . ."--Toronto Globe and Mail. "Most first novels seem thin and casual compared to THE WHIRLPOOL's elaborated density of theme and pattern. . . Here an admirable new talent is at work, surprising, ambitious and tender-hearted."--The Observer. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket. Artikel-Nr. RUB3366
