Spanning the years 1916 to 1987, the lives of sisters Idella and Avis Hillock are described in a series of vignettes, opening with an account of their mother's death in childbirth and closing with Idella's husband, Eddie, now an old man, reminiscing about his life with Idella. Set in the rough landscape of New Brunswick, Canada.
