Published posthumously through the efforts of Beverly Jensen's
many supporters, this widely acclaimed novel-in-stories offers a
richly textured portrait of a bygone era. In 1916, Idella and Avis
Hillock live on the edge of a chilly bluff in New Brunswick-a
barren world of potato farms and lobster traps, rough men, hard
work, and baffling beauty. From "Gone," the heartbreaking account
of the crisis that changed their lives forever, through "Wake," a
darkly comic saga of funeral plans gone awry, "The Sisters from
Hardscrabble Bay" beautifully charts the trajectory of the
Hillocks' divergent lives against the background of a lost slice of
Americana.
