Little Sister
Barbara Gowdy’s Little Sister is an imaginative literary novel blending psychological suspense, family drama, and the uncanny. Rose Bowan runs a small repertory cinema with her widowed mother, whose advancing dementia revives painful memories of Rose’s younger sister. During a succession of thunderstorms, Rose begins losing consciousness and experiencing another woman’s life, drawing her into a mystery involving identity, empathy, guilt, motherhood, and sisterhood.
This is the 2017 Canadian first edition and first printing from Patrick Crean Editions, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers Ltd. The first-printing number line is present, and the book is a hardcover with its original dust jacket and deckled-edge pages. ISBN 9781554688609.
Barbara Gowdy has personally inscribed and signed the title page. The inscription is addressed to a recipient and includes a handwritten message and decorative heart-and-arrow flourish; portions of the handwriting are difficult to decipher, so no unsupported transcription is offered.
The book is in Very Good condition with very minor page toning. The dust jacket has been placed in a removable clear plastic protective cover. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
