A SPLINTER IN THE HEART (ISBN: 077107218X / 0-7710-7218-X) Purdy, Al Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: McClelland and Stewart, 1990. Hardcover. Book Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: vg. First Edition. First edition. Hardcover with dust jacket, Very Good, clean, tight, unmarked; DJ has minor wrinkling; front matter has an ink stamp. 1st Edition() A Splinter in the Heart, Al Purdy's only novel, is a poet's belated foray into fiction, appearing nearly half a century after Purdy's first collection of poetry. Providing a vivid picture of Purdy's childhood home of Trenton, Ontario, in the final days of the First World War, this entertaining but rough novel will be of interest mainly to fans of Purdy's poetry. On Thanksgiving Day in 1918, Trenton was devastated by a fire and explosion at a munitions factory owned by the British Chemical Company, the town's one big employer, and all of the action in A Splinter in the Heart anticipates this cataclysm. As disaster looms, Purdy takes Patrick Cameron, his awkward and undistinguished teenage hero, through the usual elements of adolescence: he falls in love; he takes up long-distance running; his mother is courted by Trenton's firebrand pr All orders are shipped by Kbooks every business day using USPS Media Mail for American orders and Canada Post for Canada bound orders (from Toronto).
