A most welcome Elliott Bay return is made this evening by novelist Howard Norman. Author of such longstanding reader and critical favorites as The Bird Artist, The Northern Lights, The Museum Guard, and In Fond Remembrance of Me, he is back with a terrific new novel, What is Left the Daughter (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). "Back" also includes the return of northern, Nova Scotia landscapes that have served as setting for some of his most resonant, memorable works. "What is Left the Daughter, Hoard Norman's 10th book, is an epistolary novel about death, survival, and legacy ... Reminiscent of a classic Robert Frank black-and-white photograph, this candid, everyday portrait discloses intricate webs of wistfulness and resignation. Norman raises absorbing moral quandaries, particularly about the possibilities of forgiveness ... The epistolary form of this novel is a cri de coeur from an author faithful to the printed word in a time of promiscuous texting, friending, and tweeting ... The reflective, personal storytelling in What is Left the Daughter reminds us of the potential beauty, intimacy and wisdom offered by two endangered genres—the letter and the novel." – Valerie Miner, The Los Angeles Times.
