«Away» is the historical novel by Jane Urquhart, published by Emblem Editions in paperback (368 pages, in English).
An Irish family emigrates to Canada in the 1840s and the novel traces their memory: the quarantine at Grosse Isle, the Canadian Shield, Port Hope, Montreal, Ottawa at the time of Confederation and a house beside a Great Lake in the present. Between the personal and the political, it explores the emotional roots that sustain the characters.
The novel won the Trillium Book Award and was shortlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, and was selected for Canada Reads 2013.
It will appeal to readers of historical fiction and Canadian literature, as well as book clubs.
Jane Urquhart is a Canadian novelist and poet. She is the internationally acclaimed author of seven award-winning novels, three books of poetry, and numerous short stories.
