{"product_id":"a-song-for-my-daughter","title":"A Song for my Daughter","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Song for My Daughter, set in British Columbia in 1988, is an entrancing novel about transformation, healing and the irresistible magic inherent in telling stories. Vivian, the Old Woman who narrates the story, is a trickster figure with all the powers of Raven and all the savvy of a Greek chorus. We first meet Vivian by her favourite fishing hole. With her we enjoy the taste of freshlycaught salmon cooked over an open fire, take a sip of a cold beer and listen to her stories. With Vivian as our guide, we follow the adventures of three women  Joan Dark, the mysterious and radiant Salmon Woman and daughter of Vivian; Mary Chingee, a CarrierSekani woman, estranged from her family; and Sally Cunningham, the spoiled daughter of wealthy Vancouver socialites. Recently released from a mental institution, this unlikely trio journeys upriver into the heartland of BC in the hope of returning Mary to her ancestral home. Along the way, they meet, amongst others, cowboys, a revivalist preacher, a woman who runs a guest ranch and an old man without a shadow. Their exploits help us to discover what it means to be female at the end of the millennium, how it feels to be a marginalised minority and what it takes to rebalance the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oolichan Books","offers":[{"title":"Smith, Patricia Jean \/ paperback","offer_id":47842324316405,"sku":"SONG0889822441","price":32.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71HPhysWmIL.jpg?v=1773775747","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/a-song-for-my-daughter","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
