In 1916, Sisters Idella and Avis Hillock live on the edge of an chilly bluff in New Brunswick, Canada, a hardscrabble world of potato farms, tough men, effort, and baffling beauty. From "Gone", the heartbreaking accounts of the turmoil that transformed their lives forever, to the darkly comic "Wake", which uses the grown siblings' catastrophic efforts to escort the body of their father "Wild Costs" Hillock to his funeral, these reviews of Idella and Avis give you a powerful and wry eyesight of two remarkable women. The vivid personas include Idella's philandering hubby, her bewilderingly difficult mother-in-law, and Avis, whose serial romantic disasters never quell her irrepressible heart. Jensen's work evokes a time vanished by and reads like an instant American vintage.
