About This Item
Toronto: Lester & Orpen Dennys [0-88619-101-7] 1987. (Hardcover) 414pp. Very good in near fine dust jacket. The spine is lightly faded and cocked, there is a previous owner's name on the front free endpaper, and there is a crack in the text block at page 130. "Shortly before her death, one of Canada's greatest writers finally set aside fictional characters and told her own story. This candid portrayal of Gabrielle Roy's first 30 years - from her poverty-filled childhood in St. Boniface, Manitoba, as one of 8 children, through her travels in Europe on the brink of war, to her return home just a few years before she began writing the Tin Flute - is an honest, deeply moving account of a young woman's search for a purpose... And a voice". Biography of Gabrielle Roy. Locale: Manitoba--Canada; Prairie Provinces; St. Boniface--Manitoba; Western Canada. (Biography, Autobiography, Franco-Manitobains, French Canadian, Novelists, Women Writers).
