Sobre este áudio

Over Our Heads is a novel that weaves together the histories of two very different half sisters who return home to deal with the aftermath of their grandmother's death. Emma, a punk band singer and poet turned pet psychic, and Rachel, an actuary with an interest in astronomy, both carry the remnants of childhoods overshadowed by issues of bullying, abandonment, alienation, and fear. In the raw terrain of profound loss, the two sisters struggle through the stages of grief - each in her own way.

The past merges with the present as, through the process of emptying the family home, each woman is taken back to their childhoods in 1970s Toronto and Vancouver, where they navigated a social climate rife with racism, homophobia, and marginalization of the mentally ill and cognitively disabled. Over Our Heads is a story about kindness, compassion, and the lack of it on both a societal and individual level. It’s about growing up wounded and the generational legacy of suffering such wounds can create. It unearths the painful family dynamics that can arise from our perception of memory and how these dynamics color both who we are and who we believe others to be. It’s a story of acceptance, forgiveness, redemption, and the beauty that can be found in the imperfection inherent in being human.

Resumo da Crítica

"Thompson orchestrates a wondrous collage of Ziggy Stardust and the Dalai Lama, urban parks and Aboriginal medicines, home renos and black holes, all to reveal that divisions of gender, class, race, and ethnicity are, truly, only skin-deep. Thompson writes with a poet's careful eye and a novelist's open heart." [George Elliott Clarke, poet laureate of Toronto (2012-15)]
