The English Stories
Coming April 2009
These linked stories are set in 1950s England, at a girls' school and in a small residential hotel. They're about ambition, class, colonialism, the decline of empire, and how girls struggle to grow up.
The Vancouver Sun called The English Stories "a remarkable book." The Globe & Mail headed its online review "In a class of her own." It's selling well.

Making A Stone
of the Heart
When curmudgeonly Owen Jones died in a Bella Coola nursing home, no one who knew the elderly man could imagine the extraordinary story of his life.
Spooling backwards through time against the backdrop of Vancouver's raw, exuberant growth over the last hundred years, Making a Stone of the Heart tells Owen's story and those of his lover, Dora Dow, and of Dr. Jonathan Smyth.

The Animals in Their Elements
A woman goes to Toronto to sort out her deceased mother's things; an obnoxious father-to-be disrupts a prenatal class; an orphaned British boy is sent to Canada to be raised by his unmarried aunt.
The people in these stories have familiar concerns - attachment, loss, aging, and coming of age - and the fluid writing gives easy access to their lives.
