Norma Joyce and Lucinda are two sisters who live with their widowed father on a farm in the dust bowl of Saskatchewan in the depression era. Norma Joyce, the younger, is as dark and fiercely intelligent as Lucinda is fair, beautiful and saintly. When Maurice, a young student, arrives from Ottawa to stay with them and study the region's strange weather patterns both girls fall in love, but Norma Joyce becomes irretrievably - and unrequitedly - obsessed. The rivalry in love sets the stage for all that follows in the lives of the two sisters, until eventually we discover the facts of a childhood betrayal significant enough to devastate everyone involved. Disarming, vividly told and unforgettable, this is a story about the mistakes we make when young that never go away, about how the things we long to keep vanish, and those we want to forget always return to haunt us.
