Vicky, a writer in Vancouver in the first 1960s doesn’t consider herself the sort of woman who result in a bad relationship. Struggling to come to conditions with herself, she navigates an emotionally abusive relationship with Mik, a violent logger and ex-con.

Mik and Vicky’s physical, frequently violent affair provides an honest and unflinching look at interactions and female suffering. Crossings triggered a furor when it had been first published and was prohibited from some feminist bookstores. At the same about Crossings period, it was broadly acclaimed by critics and authors, including Jane Guideline, who composed: “This portrait of an artist as a woman should stand beside Alice Munro’s Who DO YOU CONSIDER You Are and Margaret Laurence’s The Diviners as a testimony of the courage and price of being a woman and a writer.”

Out of printing for a lot more than two decades, this new release of Crossings will expose this Canadian traditional – and extraordinary article writer – to a new generation of visitors.
