Rooted in the oral tradition of storytelling, INDUSTRIAL ROOTS is
an exceptional collection of domestic vignettes narrated by
different female characters. The stories in this book concern
mainly the daily experiences of blue-collar life amongst the
members of a working class family in Ontario. A woman that wants to
steal babies, alcoholic husbands, sisters in love with the same
man, aging parents, absent fathers - all have a place in the
stories these women tell. Lisa Pike uses a variety of registers,
from slang to standard English, to shape the characters' stories.
This book is a linguistic gem that brings the English language to
its limits.
