Summary
Tracing P.K. Page's life through two wars, world travels, the rise of modernist and Canadian cultures, and later Sufi study, this book details the people and events that inspired her work. Page's independent spirit propelled her from Canada to England, from work as a radio actress to a scriptwriter for the National Film Board, from an affair with poet F.R. Scott to an enduring marriage with diplomat Arthur Irwin. "A borderline being," as she called herself, she recognized the new choices offered to women by modern life but followed only those related to her quest for self-discovery. Winner of the 2013 Governor General's Award for Non-fiction. 2012
