Centre stage are the Morrisons whose tragedy is\u003cbr\u003einsidious and divisive. Orphaned young, Kate Morrison was her older brother\u003cbr\u003eMatt's protege, her curious fascination for pondlife fed by his passionate\u003cbr\u003einterest in the natural world. Now a zoologist, she can identify organisms\u003cbr\u003eunder a microscope, but seems blind to the tragedy of her own emotional\u003cbr\u003elife. She thinks she's outgrown her family, who were once her entire world -\u003cbr\u003ebut she can't seem to outgrow her childhood or lighten the weight of their \u003cbr\u003emutual past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGenres:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eContemporary Fiction - Canada - Literary Fiction - Family - Coming of Age - Drama\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\" class=\"emoji\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\" style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eGood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eFirst published 2002.
