Inhaltsangabe

In an ambitious, yet intimate novel set in Taos, New Mexico, and Hamilton, Ontario, Sally Cooper explores unexpected motherhood, creativity, race, love and faith. With My Back to the World tells the stories of three women: Rudie, who is editing a documentary in Hamilton in 2010; historical artist Agnes Martin, who decides in 1974 after seven years' exile in New Mexico to begin painting again; and Ellen, a black woman burying her husband in 1870 on an Ontario homestead. Each of these women is waiting for the arrival of an unexpected child and their interconnected stories explore how society's, and our own, ideas of what it means to be a woman, a mother and an artist change over time. Evocative and introspective, With My Back to the World tells the complicated stories of how different women find faith in themselves in extraordinary circumstances.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A filmmaker hastily prepares for the arrival of her adopted daughter from earthquake-ravaged Haiti. A visual artist yearns to rediscover the inspiration she'd had before her mental breakdown. A black woman sits in a log cabin with the body of her dead husband, freshly delivered by his white coworkers. In these interconnected stories, Sally Cooper explores motherhood, creativity, race and love through the lens of a day in the life of each of these three women – Rudie in Hamilton in 2010, Agnes in New Mexico in 1974, Ellen near Muskoka in 1870 – women separated by decades yet linked in ways they will never know. As these stories begin to weave together like a communal tapestry, they explore what it means to be a woman, a mother and an artist, and how this meaning changes over time. Evocative and introspective, With My Back to the World is about how different women find faith in themselves under extraordinary circumstances.
