Not Even the Sound of a River
Not Even the Sound of a River is a moving tale of love's phantom pains as shared through the relationships between three generations of mothers and daughters.
Hanna drives down the St. Lawrence River to her late mother's hometown, hoping to find out more about the distant woman who began to reveal herself only through notebooks discovered in her effects. As the river widens, so does Hanna's understanding of the matriarchs in her family. She learns that her mother's one true love, Antoine, died on the St. Lawrence when she was twenty, and that her grandmother also lost a young love to the same water. Both women remained shipwrecked after these tragedies, their tales mirroring other survivors'--such as the few who did not perish in the Empress of Ireland sinking when more than a thousand people lost their lives on the river in 1914.
Told through multiple perspectives, newspaper accounts, and historical documents, Dorion's narrative exquisitely describes the depths of love, the reality of living when dreams have failed us, and the complex nuance of blood ties. Not Even the Sound of a River is a tender and profound story that defies time or place.
