Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 269 pages. In a small prairie school in 1929, Connie Flood helps a backward student, Mic hael Graves, learn how to read. Observing them and darkening their lives is the principal, Parley Burns, whose strange behaviour culminates in an attack so dist urbing its repercussions continue to the present day.Connie?s niece, An ne, tells the story. Impelled by curiosity about her dynamic, adventurous aunt a nd her more conventional mother, she revisits Connie?s past and her mother?s broken childhood. In the process, she unravels the enigma of Parley Burns and t he mysterious (and unrelated) deaths of two young girls. As the novel moves deep er into their lives, the triangle of principal, teacher, student opens out into other emotional triangles ? aunt, niece, lover; mother, daughter, granddaughte r ? until a sudden, capsizing love thrusts Anne herself into a newly independe nt life.This spellbinding tale ? set in Saskatchewan and the Ottawa Val ley ? crosses generations and cuts to the bone. It probes the roots of obsessi ve love and hate, howthe hurts and desires of childhood persist and are passed o n as if in the blood. It lays bare the urgency of discovering what we were never told about the past. And it celebrates the process of becoming who we are in a world full of startling connections that lie just out of sight.Following her award-winning, #1 bestselling Late Nights on Air, Alone in the Classroom is Elizabeth Hay?s most intricate, compelling, and seductive novel yet.
