Jacket art by Gary Kelley. Signed By the Author. keywords: Literature Australia Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Janette Turner Hospital, acclaimed author of THE IVORY SWING, THE TIGER IN THE TIGER PIT, BORDERLINE, and DISLOCATIONS, has now written a brilliantly crafted novel of passion and obsession. Moving from the Australian rainforest to Canada to the hallowed hall of MIT, CHARADES unravels an extraordinary story as a young woman with a murky past searches desperately for her elusive father. Imagine for a moment Bea Ryan, the Slut of Tamborine Mountain, Australia - Queen Bea, Honey Bea, that Bloody Breeder Bea: she's a sexy, beautiful woman with no husband and ten children by ten different men. What is at the center of her life out in the Australian rainforest? Nicholas Truman. Handsome, well-educated, well-bred Nicholas is her motivating force, her fantasy, her hope for the future. Yet when he disappears with Verity Ashkenazy, an aloof, brilliant woman rumored to be a Jewish refugee, Bea reconciles herself to a life without Nicholas, even though she has had a daughter by him - Charade (pronounced Sha-rahd). And when Charade grows up, she is just as obsessed by Nicholas Truman, by this man she's never met, this father who never appeared. So she sets out to discover the truth about her past - and in doing so finds that truth has different versions. For Charade learns that three women (her intellectual aunt Kay, the earthy Bea, and the haunted Verity) all loved Nicholas - and each had reason to believe he loved her. But which of their accounts of the past is true? A complex story unfolds, a tale that reveals that people who are absent from one's life sometimes have a greater impact than those who are present. As Charade sorts through the various versions of the past, she discovers more than she wants to know - about herself, about Bea . . and about Nicholas. A novel about the games we play with our own memories, about the ways we fictionalize and mythicize our own pasts, CHARADES is Janette Turner Hospital's most provocative and compelling novel to date. inventory #11446.
