Synopsis

Edna Carver is a seventy-five-year-old artist who has lost her way. Finding herself in a retirement residence with bad food, absurd rules, and compliant peers, she rebels with her best friend Elizabeth until Fate and Sunset Lodge Management intervene, the latter in the name of personal safety and medical care. When Edna is transferred to an even more dangerous long-term-care facility, she knows she must follow Elizabeth's advice and return to her art if she is to make a positive difference in this medically oppressive environment. Aiding her in her fight against ageism and medical malfeasance is Diana Mallory, a thirty-something writer who discovers far more than she bargains for when she agrees to investigate Edna's complaints. Set in Toronto in the early eighties, Under the Moon's characters continue to inspire readers to challenge the North American habit of ageism and the medical appropriation of the aging process. With long-term-care facilities sprouting like mushrooms in communities on both sides of the border, this tragicomic novel has never been more relevant.
