Book Synopsis
Ann Copeland jumps over the convent wall with Season of Apples, a book of stories about ordinary people surprised by their own sudden growth. With their special brand of serious good humour, Copeland''s characters gently push readers towards their own self-knowledge. Men and women of all ages star in Season of Apples, and all find themselves at some kind of threshold or on the brink of a life change. In Another Country, a mother finally connects with her own mother when she recognises, in the midst of her son''s dangerous illness, that each generation is another country. A woman playing the piano for an Easter service in a home for the aged knows the frailty of human individuality, her own included, in On the Other Side. In the title story, Leora May, colourless, habit-ridden, and chained to her small-town routine, rediscovers her capacity for joy when she''s chosen to act in a television commercial. And, in the hilarious, odd, yet moving Why Eat Pot Roast When You Can Sing? identical
