Description
Take a sneak peek
Interred in the mire of family obligation, from which there seems little opportunity of exodus, The Erratics, a memoir by Australian/Canadian author Laveau-Harvie, documents the travails of a daughter who, despite her mother’s attempts at erasing her, is compelled to confront an unpalatable family history that draws her back to the Alberta landscape of her childhood. Her homecoming denotes the inescapability of family obligation and the impulse to finally confront a past that despite the act of trans-continental migration, remains a persistent obstacle to closure.
