About Green Water, Green Sky By Mavis Gallant

An elegant, melancholic novella about memory, family and the meaning of home.

This is the tale of the fractured family life of Bonnie McCarthy, an American divorcée, and her daughter, Flor. Uprooted and unmoored, mother and daughter lead an itinerant existence Venice, Canne and Paris as a backdrop glamorous and dependent. When Flor attempts to flee this untidy life and the oppressive rule of her eccentric mother, she instead succumbs to a gradual decline into insanity.

Green Water, Green Sky was Mavis Gallants debut novel and is a quietly dazzling example of hermasterful shifts in narrative perspective and her visceral exploration of displacement and exile.
