You're in Canada Now…: A Memoir of Sorts

Ann Turner is the financial and budget manager of the University of
British Columbia Library.

In this collection of 58 essays, many previously published in newspapers
and magazines, multi-faceted Canadian writer Susan Musgrave describes
her world and her feelings about it with bittersweet poignancy and wit.
The topics are far-ranging, including love and sex, her family, her
travels and home places, life as a professional writer, reflections on
news and politics, loneliness, bereavement, and death. An
extraordinarily gifted descriptive writer, she is at her articulate and
evocative best in this collection. She has her reader laughing
uncontrollably over the exquisite irony of a situation one minute and
near tears the next with shared grief or over an achingly beautiful turn
of phrase. Her world may not be quite conventional, but it suits her. We
are so fortunate she is willing to share it with us.
