Book Information

Lost Geography explores the transitions that sixty years visit upon the members of an unforgettable family- a Saskatchewan woman and her Scottish husband; their plucky daughter, who moves to Toronto; and her remarkable daughter, who lives in France with her Turkish-English husband. It takes the complexity of migration as its central subject: how landscape, work and family lock some people in place and release others: how habits of survival translate from one generation to another: and how circumstances make us alter what our heritage has told us is important.
