Summary:

"A passionate, wise and tender exploration of a surprisingly compelling life. Becker's fascination for her subject is utterly contagious: I found myself late-night Googling Betty, determined to track down everything she ever wrote!"?Julie Myerson, author of The Stopped Heart: A Novel

Betty MacDonald (1907-1958), The Egg and I and the classic Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle children's books, exploded onto the literary scene just as after WWII ended. Her first memoir, The Egg and I, was a much needed tonic to a war weary public and readers flocked to the hilarious memoir of her years on a chicken ranch on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. It sold one million copies in less than a year. "The Egg and I" was adapted to screen starring Fred MacMurray and Claudette Colbert, and that film spawned a series of films featuring MacDonald's love-able Ma and Pa Kettle characters.

Betty MacDonald followed the success of The Egg with the creation of the now classic children's character, the magical Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle who rids children of their bad habits. Three more memoirs followed: "The Plague and I" (a rare, and funny, account of life in a tuberculosis sanitarium), "Anybody Can Do Anything" (trust Betty to find humour in the Great Depression and the trials and tribulations of finding work), and "Onions in the Stew" (a funny look at raising two teenage daughters that still rings true today).

Granted full access to the archives of Betty MacDonald's, Paula Becker's biography includes materials never before seen by any researcher. In this first official biography of this beloved Northwest storyteller, Becker tells us the story behind the memoirs and the reveals difference between the real Betty MacDonald and her literary persona.

Summary:

Winner of the Giller Prize and Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. 'A vivid, magisterial novel that reaches back to China's civil war and up to the present day' -The Guardian 'In a single year, my father left us twice. The first time, to end his marriage, and the second, when he took his own life. I was ten years old.' Master storyteller Madeleine Thien takes us inside an extended family in China, showing us the lives of two successive generations-those who lived through Mao's Cultural Revolution and their children, who became the students protesting in Tiananmen Square. At the center of this epic story are two young women, Marie and Ai-Ming. Through their relationship Marie strives to piece together the tale of her fractured family in present-day Vancouver, seeking answers in the fragile layers of their collective story. Her quest will unveil how Kai, her enigmatic father, a talented pianist, and Ai-Ming's father, the shy and brilliant composer, Sparrow, along with the violin prodigy Zhuli were forced to reimagine their artistic and private selves during China's political campaigns and how their fates reverberate through the years with lasting consequences. With maturity and sophistication, humor and beauty, Thien has crafted a novel that is at once intimate and grandly political, rooted in the details of life inside China yet transcendent in its universality.
