Bread and Salt

by Renee Rodin

tagged: canadian, women authors, family
Description

In this her first book of “prosaics,” Renee Rodin discovers a home in the wilderness surrounding her. Pieced together from childhood memories of Montreal, dreams of her mother’s towering absence, long distance calls with her father, street politics and the joy of children, Bread and Salt, what you bring for luck to a new house, is a joyous affirmation of vision and courage in hard times.
