Synopsis

A girl from a poor Canadian town reinvents herself through study, marriage and work, but cannot outrun her past.

Previously published as The Beggar Maid and chosen as a BBC Between the Covers pick, Who Do You Think You Are? follows Rose from a poor Ontario childhood into the unstable freedoms of adulthood.

Growing up behind a store with her father, stepmother Flo and half-brother Brian, Rose grows up amid humiliation, family violence, and acute class awareness. Education, marriage, affairs, work in theatre and repeated reinventions carry her away from home, yet shame and memory keep returning in altered form.

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Man Booker International Prize, the is literary fiction for readers looking for coming-of-age writing, class, desire, family conflict and potential answers to the difficult question contained in a name.

'A work of great brilliance and depth... almost Proustian in its sureness' New Statesman
