Winner, Fiction Award, Saskatchewan Book AwardsFinalist, Book of the Year/First Book Award/Saskatoon Book Award; Saskatchewan Book Awards The Maleness of God is a collection of tough, brilliantly crafted stories that pull no punches about the rugged terrain in the emotional landscape of men and women. These women struggle with relationships - with husbands, and lovers, and parents who won't let them go. They fight with society's, and their own, judgement of their worth should they happen to be childless adults. Here are women who discover daily how difficult it is to share the planet with that other sex. But here too are women who connive, who hurt, who are confused about their own feelings and motivations. Women who come to realize that men's feelings, as incomprehensible as they may sometimes be, are as real, as mysterious and as compelling as their own. "Baker's stories are funny, sad, and thought-provoking. But what makes them memorable is their humanity, their rightness - the nuances of experience that provoke in the reader the urge to say, 'Yes!'"-The Winnipeg Free Press No library descriptions found. |
