Description
Carol Windley’s mesmerizing collection, Home Schooling, introduced an American audience to a mature, masterful storyteller whose writing has a unique power, a perfect combination of delicacy, intensity, and fearless imagination” (Alice Munro). Set in the temperate rain forests of Vancouver Island and the vibrant cities of the Pacific Northwest, the stories in Home Schooling uncover the hidden freight of families as they dissolve and reform in new and startling configurations: ghosts appear, the past intrudes and overwhelms the present, familiar terrain takes on a hostile aspect, and happiness often depends on unlikely alliances.
