Winner of the 2001 Giller Prize and the 2001 Governor General's Award for Fiction, Clara Callan draws the reader into a Depression-era world of passion, where secrets percolate and sudden, unexpected violence erupts. Wright, also a 2001 Governor General Award nominee, uncovers the lives of two sisters - Clara, a spinsterish school teacher in a small Ontario town and Nora, a radio soap opera star in New York - using the intimacy of diaries and letters. A powerful portrait of young women in a world where social judgement weighed heavily upon anyone who defied convention.
