Product Information

A rich and evocative novel of immigrant families, and the effect that rootlessness has down the generations. A young fisherman, having read through every book in his corner of Scotland, left home to travel, as far away from the sea as possible, and ended up in Saskatchewan, Canada. He married a local farmer's daughter, and they lived 'quiet, braided lives' building their roots, their family, their farm, until they were killed in an accident. Their children scattered. Their daughter, rootless, moved into the anonymity of a town and, pregnant, married another immigrant. And her daughter flees the family legacy, and the coldness, to Paris, where an Anglo-Turkish boy introduces her to all the colour she has been missing - and to another immigrant culture. The loss of one culture and confrontation with a new one affects all the characters. Lost Geography shines a new light on the struggles and triumphs of immigrant life.
