The Pear Shaped Woman — Janet Kellough

Liddie Rose Marsh grows up in a place where the chickens and old car engines share the same barnyard; where old folks and young folks and miscellaneous relatives all go along to the Town Hall dances; and where her pear-shaped aunt is carrying on a feud with the minister across the road. It's a life that seems like a rural idyll until on day a ouija board changes everything. Set in beautiful Prince Edward County, Ontario The Pear Shaped Woman tells the story of a family and a community that is changing - and as far as Liddie is concerned, the changes aren't all for the better. But with her wry wit and down to earth attitude, she tries to face each challenge as it comes.
