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.
