Coles Still - A Memoir at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
When Julia Kelly's mother, Delphine, drowns in a freak swimming accident, her daughter's world collapses. Mired in grief, Julia, guided by the clinical terms of the post mortem, begins to piece together, in words, her mother's body in order to make sense of what has happened. Delphine spent much of her life in the shadows as a politician's wife, tending selflessly to the needs of her husband and their five wild children. When he collapsed of a heart attack at fifty-nine, it was a sad liberation for her. Free for the first time ever, she travelled widely. Her final journey was to the Galapagos Islands, where Delphine was hit by an unexpected wave; she lost her balance and was forced underwater. Still is a study of Julia's grief, and the laying bare of her mother's body - finally still and fully present for the first time in her seventy-two years. She died as she had always strived to live, in the middle of a huge adventure, diving into the great unknown.
