Elizabeth Hay : His Whole Life before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised His Whole Life:

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I loved the book and will keep an eye out for ...By LamppuWhat is Canada? For a foreigner Canada is an enigma. Elizabeth Hay clears the picture a little bit, but a passing visitor will not know what's what. Ever. I loved the book and will keep an eye out for anything Ms Hay may write in the future, although I shall be far away, never to return to Canada.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good, but not as great...By RDRI love Hay's previous novels, but this one was a bit dry for me. The writing is beautiful, but the characters did not seem well developed or likable. Will keep reading more of her work as she is a talented author!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Tender and trueBy JillrExquisite. Beautifully written, memorable characters and phrases. Funny and sad and tender. Loved it from start to finish. The unexplained unpredictability of human nature in all its glory. Lap it up, especially poignant for dog lovers!

Starting with something as simple as a boy who wants a dog, award-winning novelist Elizabeth Hay's His Whole Life transports readers to an emotionally rich landscape populated by unforgettable characters, yet overshadowed by a sense of loss. At the outset, ten-year-old Jim and his Canadian mother and American father are on a journey from to a beautiful lake in eastern during the last hot days of August. Over the next few pivotal years of Jim's youth, the novel moves from city to country, summer to winter, well-being to illness, as it charts the deepening bond between mother and son, even as their small family starts to fall to pieces. Set in the mid-1990s, when Quebec was on the verge of seceding from Canada, this captivating novel is an unconventional coming-of-age story that draws readers in with its warmth, wisdom, its vivid sense of place, its searching honesty, and nuanced portrait of the lives of a family and those closest to it. Writing at the height of her powers, the award-winning Elizabeth Hay explores the mystery of how family members can wound each other so deeply, and remember those hurts in such detail, yet find surprising ways to make room for love, and even forgiveness.
