Strange & Familiar Places: A Novel

Strange and Familiar Places is a passionate and gripping novel of ideas and sex, music and art, of creative play and psychopathology. It is centered on an independent-minded woman who rejects the religious and moral pieties of the day. Sometimes at the edge, at other times in the centre of the bilingual community and world she inhabits, she plays dangerously with temptation and seduction. She risks her marriage to a minister whose beliefs she does not share — alienating her daughter, and salvaging her damaged heart.
