Trade Paperback - NEW LOCAL AUTHOR! Santa Rosa is the first novel in Wendy McGrath's acclaimed Santa Rosa Trilogy. The young narrator, Christine, tries to make sense of the disinte gration of her parents' marriage—a process echoed by the slow disintegration of their neighbourhood.In subtle poetic prose, Wendy McGrath evokes afternoons at the fair captured in overexposed photographs, and a family's disquieting day at the beach as moments that exist apart from time, in a place where every sense is heightened, and where every memory is sharpened as if in a lucid dream where understanding lies just beyond reach.
