Cecily Ross recommends
The Sister's Tale (2021)
Beth Powning
"Beth Powning has done it again. This time shedding light on a shameful slice of Canadian history--New Brunswick's pauper auctions. The novel introduces us to an unorthodox household of nineteenth-century women and girls struggling to survive and thrive in a world dominated by men. Powning's prose shimmers. Her characters come vividly to life in this tale of sisterhood, female friendship, and the power of love and loss."
