OLDER FICTION
Clarke, Judith

The Winds of Heaven

(2) YA A woman in her sixties, Clementine, looks back to the most disturbing, charismatic character of her childhood: her older cousin Fan who lives with a mentally unstable, abusive mother. In this story of love and sadness, Clarke's baroque, metaphor-rich style matches the high emotional pitch of early adolescence--iron loyalties, rage at injustice--all set against a stark Australian landscape.
