The fascinating characters that roam across the pages of
Emma Donoghue's stories have all gone astray: they are
emigrants, runaways, drifters, lovers old and new. They are
gold miners and counterfeiters, attorneys and slaves. They
cross other borders too: those of race, law, sex, and
sanity. They travel for love or money, incognito or under
duress.
With rich historical detail, the celebrated
author of Room takes us from puritan Massachusetts to
revolutionary New Jersey, antebellum Louisiana to the
Toronto highway, lighting up four centuries of wanderings
that have profound echoes in the present. Astray
offers us a surprising and moving history for restless times.
