Cyclone
"With wonderful clarity, economy, and compassion, Julia van Gorder chronicles the life of Agnes Jackson, a working-class woman from Manchester who immigrated with her family to begin a life in Canada. Upon arrival, they face not only the Regina cyclone of 1912, but the madness of the First World War. Led by Agnes' courage and will to survive, the Jacksons carve out a life in the new world that cut across class lines in a way that would not have been possible in England. Agnes, a protegé of the suffragette Pankhurst in England, works her way to a new identity, finally eclipsing her former heroines."--Chapters.indigo.ca
