The Pear Shaped Woman

Liddie Rose Marsh grows up in a place where it's all right to have more-or-less cousins and miscellaneous relatives and old folks and young folks and car engines and chickens all sharing space, where kids are taken along to dances at the Town Hall, and where her pear-shaped aunt is carrying on a feud with the minister across the road. It seems like a rural idyll, but one day a ouija board changes everything. At times tragic, at times side-splittingly funny, The Pear Shaped Woman tells the story of a family and a community under pressure and down-to-earth Liddie faces each challenge with wry wit and matter-of-fact courage. Set in beautiful Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada.
