Kate Riley is not the sort of heroine we meet in most American
novels. Self-centered, shape-shifting, driven from one man to
another and one city to the next, she is all too real but not at
all the loyal and steady homebody of idealized womanhood. When we
first encounter her, Kate is about to undergo exploratory brain
surgery for a condition she herself has fabricated. Sobered by the
gravity of the procedure, she commences a journey of memory that
takes us back to the Saskatchewan village where she grew up and to
the singular event that altered her forever and irrevocably set the
course of her life. From her childhood, in which she was held
captive to a mother gone mad, through her adult life, which unfolds
as a mesmerizing sequence of men, abandoned children, and perpetual
movement, Kate's story is one of desperation and remarkable
invention, a strangely American tale, narrated by one of our most
original writers.
