Tell

Tell
Tell
by Frances Itani



Deseronto, Ontario in 1919 is a town coming to terms with its past.  World War I is over and the boys are coming home.  Hopeful, yes.   But Kenan, once an outgoing and happy young man has been disfigured in the war.  His suffering is obvious and goes far deeper than physical scars.   He and his wife Tress must rediscover each other as both have lost their carefree pre-war selves. 

Maggie and Am, Kenan and Tress’s aunt and uncle, have secret scars of their own – scars which are consuming them.  Maggie tries to find a way out with music as she trains to be the solo soprano in the upcoming New Year’s Eve concert.  

Throughout the story there is the happy presence of the ice rink, erected every winter on the lake.  This is a place that has seen much joy for the two couples, and the place where the men try to release some of the pain that they are not given leave to express.

Despite the sadness, there is also friendship, family, love and loyalty.  Everything in the novel culminates in a joyous burst of song at the concert.  At this point, the characters must choose new paths.

Itani is a subtle writer who builds her characters carefully.  Readers come to genuinely care about them.  As in her novel Requiem, Itani has a clear sense of history that is revealed through character and plot.   This is a beautiful novel about secrets kept and revealed, and the hope that comes at the end of war.

  45. The currency in the game is very important. The currencies you can use include gold and silver. Among them, silver cannot be used for transactions between players and cannot be circulated. In other words, if you want to buy some items from other players, such as weapons or armors, you must use Cheap Lost Ark Gold. Gold is more precious and more difficult to obtain. If you are currently playing games on Lost Ark's Russian server, you are likely to be unable to participate in some of the gameplay due to the time difference, thus wasting a lot of opportunities to earn gold.

  65. Happiness is a byproduct of trying to make others happy. Wisdom comes from listening and regret comes from speaking. Talking a lot is different from talking well. Therefore, to climb to the highest point, you have to start from the lowest point. You should learn how to train yourself from a professional. Everything that looks so fragile on the outside is real power. Everyone has the power to do certain things, but it is difficult to do them easily. Try not to subjugate people by force, but to subjugate people by virtue.
