Description:A New York Times Book Review “Editor’s Choice” SelectionA New York Times Notable Book Shortlisted for the Ethel Wilson PrizeShortlisted for the W.H. Smith First Novel Award“Strangely beautiful, haunting…. The cadenced narrative yields its secrets slowly…. In Lam Fan, the ruefully wise matriarch, Bowering has created a magnificent character, at once mythical and human.”— Publishers Weekly“… a vigorous historical novel.”— The New York Times Book Review“Against China, Hong Kong, the South China seas and British Columbia from the mid-1800s to the mid 1900s, Marilyn Bowering plays out one man’s search for identity…. A whale of a yarn! [Bowering] takes history, adventure, mystery, and romance and fuses all of the elements into a fascinating whole. The pendulum of her narrative swings with ease from the past to the present and back again. It is an intelligent book.”— Chattanooga Times“…a novelist of power and mesmeric voice…. Vivid, absorbing, perceptive, sensitive and spare…. It is one book and many: a Vancouver Island coastal travelogue, a ghost story, a trek after roots, a poetic monologue, and a history of Chinese struggle and settlement…. Its steady, sometimes beseeching voice…belies its drama, for beneath the surface of the writing’s energy lurks a threatening sense of fear….. poignant and heroic. Bowering writes at the edge of her talent; she is affirmative, clear, faithful to life’s mystery. To All Appearances a Lady is a marvellous debut, to all appearances a paragon of dazzling imagination.”— Scotland on SundayWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
