While she travels the snowy roads in the gathering light, she begins another journey, one of recollection and introspection, and one that, through the course of Jane Urquhart’s brilliant new novel, will leave the reader forever changed.\u003cbr\u003e     Moving as effortlessly through time as the drift of memory itself, \u003ci\u003eIn Winter I Get Up at Night \u003c\/i\u003ebrings Emer and her singular story to life. At the age of 11, she is terribly injured in an enormous prairie storm—the “great wind” that shifts her trajectory forever. As she recovers, separated from her family in a children’s ward, Emer gets to know her fellow patients, a memorable group including a child performer who stars in a travelling theatre company, the daughter of a Dukhobor community, and the son of a leftist Jewish farm collective. The children are tended to by three nursing sisters and two doctors, whom the ever-imaginative Emer comes to call Doctor Angel and Doctor Carpenter.\u003cbr\u003e     Emer’s tale grows outwards from that ward, reaching through time and space in a dreamlike fashion, recounting the stories of her mother’s entanglement with a powerful yet mysterious teacher; her brother’s dawning spirituality, which eventually leads him to the priesthood; the remarkable lives of the nuns who care for her; and the passionate yet distant love affair of Emer and an enigmatic man she calls Harp—a brilliant scientist whose great discovery has forever altered millions of lives around the world.\u003cbr\u003e     In luminous prose, and with exhilarating nuance and depth, Jane Urquhart charts an unforgettable life, while also exploring some of the grandest themes of the twentieth century—colonial expansion, scientific progress, and the sinister forces that seek to divide societies along racial and cultural lines. \u003ci\u003eIn Winter I Get Up at Night\u003c\/i\u003e is a major work of imagination and self-exploration from one of the greatest writers of our time.","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47392806699263,"sku":"9780771098321","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780771098321_s600x595.jpg?v=1779819524","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780771098321","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
