Présentation Local Customs Format Broché

Résumé :
Letitia Landon, Letty to her friends, is an intelligent, witty, successful writer, much sought after for dinner parties and soir?es in the London of the 1830s. But, still single at thirty-six, she fears ending up as a wizened crone in a dilapidated country cottage, a cat her only companion.
Just as she is beginning to believe she will never marry, she meets George Maclean, home on leave from his position as the governor of Cape Coast Castle on the Gold Coast of West Africa. George and Letty marry quietly and set sail for Cape Coast. Eight weeks later she is dead - not from malaria or dysentery or any of the multitude of dangers in her new home, but by her own hand. Or so it would seem.
Local Customs examines, in poetic detail, a way of life that has faded into history. It was a time when religious and cultural assimilation in the British colonies gave rise to a new, strange social order. Letty speaks from beyond the grave to let the reader see the world through her eyes and explore the mystery of her death. Was she disturbed enough to kill herself or was someone - or something - else involved?
Biographie: Audrey Thomas has published seventeen previous novels and short story collections. Her novels Intertidal Life and Coming Down from Wa were nominated for Governor General's Literary Awards and won B.C.'s Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize. In 2003, she won the George Woodcock Lifetime Achievement Award. Audrey lives on Galiano Island, B.C.
Praise for Audrey Thomas's writing: Thomas has a faultless ear for dialogue, for how people sound... And she has a camera eye for physical detail. Margaret Atwood Audrey Callahan Thomas's specialty is not a region but a gender. She is intensely, assertively feminine... Mrs. Thomas's perceptions... are brilliant. New York Times Book Review The author's writing is stylistically brilliant. Publishers Weekly Audrey Thomas is not a romantic, nor is she a narrow satirist of false sophistication. She is a realist and a terrible comedian who exposes her characters in a light like 'the intense glare of the sun against the white walls of the houses'. Jane Rule, The Globe and Mail
