Haunting debut novel from one of Canada's most admired playwrights and actresses. It traces a family from Cape Breton island, Nova Scotia, through the First World War into the emerging Jazz scene of New York. Four sister cope very differently with growing up in a troubled family. ""Fall on Your Knees" is a wonderful story, a depressing, bleak, magical tale, a curious testament to both the power of love and the inability of humans to live fully without it... It is a rare talent that can produce it for others to see" Mary Loudon, "The Times".
