| PANDORA This is a classic story of growing up in Ontario during the 40's, when the breadman delivered door-to-door from a horsecart, and when the apparent innocence of everyday life was offset by the horrors of war. Yet, under the veneer of respectability, many a domestic monster lurked, as witnessed by Sylvia Fraser's young heroine, the irrepressible Pandora. PRAISE FOR PANDORA "Sylvia Fraser catches exactly the exuberance and the pain of childhood, the ways in which the sinister secrets of the surrounding adult world are felt and sensed fully, without being fully comprehended. This is a novel about childhood which is about far more than childhood, for it touches upon the whole human dilemma." - Margaret Laurence "Sylvia Fraser has broken new ground and done it with panache and expertise of a high professional order. Here is the truth about what happens to all of us in childhood, beautifully told, unflinchingly honest, yet never whining. If you have ever wondered why you are what you are, read this excellent first novel and find out." - Farley Mowat |
