Weaving finely spun filaments of the lyric and mythic, Barbara
Lambert creates a vivid tapestry of a year in the life of
Vancouver's Allegra Schliemann, a middle-aged woman in the throes
of a knotty love affair with a married man, a newly-crafted career
as an artisan and a battle against a debilitating disease. Unable
to see her way clear of the emotional clutter these changes wreak,
Allegra hires would-be artist Brad Lindhall to fashion her a
mirrored wall, praying it will bring light and clarity into the
encroaching dusk of her own life. Meanwhile, in Toronto, Brad's
estranged wife Mona researches a work known as A Brief History of
Cloth and Clay for an upcoming installation, her voice reaching
into the past and across the country. In this brilliant recasting
of a traditional love triangle, three artists find their way into
the heart of genius, and of darkness, emerging strangely and
irrevocably intertwined. Like her many mythological
predecessors--Philomela, Ariadne and Athena--Allegra encircles
lovers, entraps enemies and unfurls in the face of adversity.
