Summary:
"Carol Shields was fascinated by the life and writing of
Susanna
Moodie
.
Moodie
was a Romantic writer from a celebrated literary family whose life changed forever when she and her husband left England for the backwoods of Canada in 1832. The Moodies, utterly unprepared for pioneer life, soon found themselves starving in the hostile wilderness of Upper Canada.
Susanna
began publishing her writing to feed and clothe her growing family. The result was the novel
Roughing
It in the Bush--an aggravated and acerbic testament to pioneer life that was praised in England but turned
Moodie
into a controversial figure in Canada. Two centuries later,
Moodie
is honored as an early feminist and literary pioneer. Shields' long fascination with
Moodie
led her to collaborate on a screenplay with Patrick Crowe, which has now found its way to the world as a graphic novel. A talented adaptation by Willow Dawson and emotionally complex illustrations by Selena Goulding bring the words of the controversial and fascinating
Susanna
Moodie
to life through the insightful personality of Carol Shields. Includes a rousing introduction by Margaret Atwood, who shares in the fascination for the pioneering
