SIGNED BY DON GILLMOR on half-title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; previous owner stamp on upper edge; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; At the age of 80, Don Gillmor's grandmother let slip the defining secret of her life. Her twin sister Jean was not her twin but her aunt, and her entire family had emigrated from Scotland to Winnipeg to escape the stigma of her illegitimacy. That revelation set Gillmore off tracing the thin line of blood, his ancestry, leading from Winnipeg back to the Highlands. Both an evocative family memoir adn a brilliant feat of historical imagination, this is the story of this immigrant country, the story of Winnipeg, the story of the new land and its whispered or shouted promise.
