Plot summary
Nearly 90, Hagar Shipley shares a Manitoba house with Marvin, her oldest son, and his wife Doris, who want her placed in a nursing home. She refuses and slips away to Manawaka, the town of her youth, and to the crumbling farmhouse of her first marriage. The journey carries her back through the life she led there. Her father, the shopkeeper Jason Currie, cuts her off when she marries the farmer Bram Shipley. She holds herself above Bram and grows cold toward him as the marriage sours and he drinks. Her younger son John is the one she favors, and in his adult years he rebels against her.
